MR-LINAC upgrade in Dresden sets new standards for radiation therapy: more precise, gentle, and safe
Press release 2025-09-07
Personalized radiation therapy at the Dresden University Medical Campus has reached a new milestone. Since June 2022, the state-of-the-art MR-LINAC has combined magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and radiation therapy in a single device. Now, it has been upgraded with new gating functionality. This allows tumors to be irradiated with even greater precision in real time – a quantum leap for the gentle and highly precise treatment of cancer patients. Stefanie Beyer was among the first patients to benefit from this advanced treatment technology.
