RMLIMS Lucknow to Install 4D CT Simulation Machine
Lucknow- In a major development, Ram Manohar Lohia Institute of Medical Sciences (RMLIMS), Lucknow, is soon going to install a 4D CT simulation machine costing Rs 14.8 crore. This new technology will enhance the treatment options available to cancer patients at RMLIMS.
According to a TOI media news report, officials said this advanced technology will replace the existing CT simulation system, which is 12 years old and out of warranty, ensuring more accurate and effective radiation therapy.
In this regard, speaking to the TOI, Professor Madhup Rastogi from the Department of Radiation Oncology said, “Unlike conventional CT simulation, which provides only static images, the 4D CT simulation machine captures real-time images, taking into account the movement of the tumour due to breathing and other body functions.”
