Technologies 

ETHOS™ Therapy with HyperSight™ and IDENTIFY™: Intelligent, Adaptive, and Personalised Radiation

At Yashoda Institute of Cancer Care, we are among the few centres in India equipped with the ETHOS™ Adaptive Radiation Therapy System, a next-generation technology that redefines how radiation is delivered. ETHOS adapts to the individual’s anatomy and tumour changes in real time, so every treatment is highly accurate and truly personalised.

HyperSight™: Real-Time Imaging, Redefined

HyperSight™ is the imaging innovation built into ETHOS that generates high-quality, full-field CT scans within seconds and at lower radiation doses. With HyperSight, our specialists can:

  • Visualise tumours and organs clearly during every session
  • Detect daily anatomical changes such as tumour shrinkage, weight loss, or organ motion
  • Improve targeting accuracy while safeguarding nearby healthy tissues

This allows treatment plans to be refined instantly, so care adapts to the body’s changing needs with every visit.

IDENTIFY™: Surface Guidance with Seamless Precision

IDENTIFY™ is an advanced Surface Guided Radiation Therapy (SGRT) platform that uses non-invasive 3D surface scanning to monitor body position throughout treatment. With IDENTIFY, there is no need for permanent tattoos or skin marks for alignment. The system:

  • Detects even the slightest movement immediately
  • Enhances comfort and safety, particularly for breast, head and neck, and thoracic cancers
  • Provides a smoother and more precise treatment experience

Together, ETHOS with HyperSight and IDENTIFY makes radiation adaptive, intelligent, and patient-focused, allowing therapy to be shaped around the body rather than forcing the body to adapt to therapy.

EDGE™ with HyperArc™ and ExacTrac® Dynamic: Precision Redefined

At Yashoda Institute of Cancer Care, we also bring the EDGE™ Radiosurgery System, one of the world’s most advanced solutions for delivering high-dose radiation with sub-millimetric accuracy. EDGE is designed to target tumours in challenging locations such as the brain, spine, lung, liver, and prostate with remarkable precision. The system is further strengthened by two integrated technologies: HyperArc™ and ExacTrac® Dynamic.

HyperArc™: Transforming Brain and Spine Radiosurgery

HyperArc™ automates stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for brain and upper spine tumours, making treatments faster and more accurate. With this technology:

  • Single or multiple brain metastases can be treated in one short session
  • Extremely focused radiation doses protect healthy brain tissue
  • Treatment times are shorter and more comfortable

HyperArc offers a non-invasive option for brain tumours that delivers strong therapeutic results with minimal disruption to daily life.

ExacTrac® Dynamic: Intelligent Real-Time Tracking

ExacTrac® Dynamic combines surface-guided monitoring with real-time X-ray imaging to keep radiation aligned even when the body or tumour moves. It provides:

  • Continuous positional accuracy during every session
  • Safe treatment for moving targets such as tumours in the lung or liver
  • A smooth and reassuring experience with no additional radiation burden

Together, EDGE with HyperArc and ExacTrac Dynamic makes it possible to deliver very precise, high-dose treatment in fewer sessions, often without surgery or hospitalisation.

Elekta Unity MRI-Linac: Precision Guided by Real-Time MRI

Yashoda Institute of Cancer Care is also proud to house the Elekta Unity MRI-Linac, one of the most advanced radiation systems in the world. It is the first machine to merge a high-field 1.5 Tesla MRI scanner with a linear accelerator, making it possible to see tumours and organs in real time while treatment is underway.

Real-Time MRI Guidance During Treatment

Unlike conventional systems that rely only on pre-treatment CT scans, Elekta Unity provides:

  • Live, high-resolution MRI images before and during every session
  • Clear visualisation of soft tissues, tumours, and organ motion
  • The ability to adapt beams instantly to daily changes in anatomy

This precision is particularly valuable for tumours in the abdomen, pelvis, prostate, pancreas, liver, and gynaecological cancers where movement can limit accuracy.

A multidisciplinary team of oncologists, surgeons, radiologists, pathologists, and support staff who jointly plan patient care.

Yes, but most are temporary and manageable. Advanced technology reduces exposure to healthy tissue, minimizing risks.

Radiation therapy uses high-energy beams to destroy cancer cells. It is used for cure, control, or symptom relief depending on the cancer type and stage.
