MR Linac (Magnetic Resonance Linear Accelerator) is an advanced radiation therapy system that combines the precision of a linear accelerator (LINAC) with the detailed imaging capabilities of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MR Linac enables oncologists to adjust the radiation treatment plan dynamically, based on real-time MRI scans, offering greater precision, especially for tumors located near critical structures or those that move due to breathing. It is particularly beneficial for cancers in the brain, prostate, liver, and lung.
The Average Cost of MR Linac Radiotherapy in Hyderabad is around 3,50,000 and 5,00,000.
| Technology | Cost | Description | Best Suited Organs | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2DCRT | ₹ 40 - 60k | ₹ 40,000 - 60,000 | Basic X-ray imaging; delivers radiation from a few fixed angles. | Simple tumors: head, neck, pelvis. |
| 3DCRT | ₹ 40 - 60k | ₹ 40,000 - 60,000 | CT-based planning; delivers shaped radiation from multiple fixed angles. | Brain, prostate, breast cancers. |
| IMRT | ₹ 2.4 - 2.6L | ₹ 2,40,000 - 2,60,000 | Advanced 3DCRT; modulates beam intensity at fixed positions for better tumor targeting. | Prostate, head, neck, brain. |
| IGRT | ₹ 1.6 - 2L | ₹ 1,60,000 - 2,00,000 | Combines imaging during treatment with IMRT for enhanced precision. | Lung, pancreas, prostate. |
| VMAT | ₹ 2.4 - 2.6L | ₹ 2,40,000 - 2,60,000 | Machine rotates 360° around the patient, delivering radiation continuously with real-time adjustments. | Prostate, head, neck, gynecological. |
| RapidArc | ₹ 2.5 - 2.8L | ₹ 2,50,000 - 2,80,000 | A faster, more precise variant of VMAT. | Same as VMAT. |
| MR Linac | ₹ 3.5 - 5L | ₹ 3,50,000 - 5,00,000 | Combines MRI with radiation delivery for real-time imaging and high precision near critical tissues. | Pancreas, liver, complex tumors. |
| SRS | ₹ 50 - 80k | ₹ 50,000 - 80,000 | High-dose, ultra-precise radiation in 1-5 sessions, mainly for small, well-defined tumors. | Brain, lung, spine. |
| ICRT | ₹ 40 - 70k | ₹ 40,000 - 70,000 | Internal radiation delivered through applicators placed inside body cavities. | Cervical, endometrial cancers. |
