PAPAPOSTOLOU has built a specially designed and armored treatment room, with an operating and control room that allows clinicians to tailor treatment delivery.

It is worth to mention that due to the advanced architecture of VitalBeam™ which concists of an advanced MLC 5mm, a 43x43 cm imaging field (MV), a built in CBCT, and a real time imaging during the treatment, even the most difficult clinical cases can be treated efficiently and accurately. The Maestro control system, conducts the system by directing, synchronizing and onitoring all of the system's fully integrated, functional components, making treatment fast and efficient.

The VitalBeam™ has a very fast machine performance check (MPC), a unique feature, which is designed for fast and reliable daily system testing, before patient treatments begin.

Moreover, the VitalBeam™ Treatment System, goes woth the ARIA - OIS for Radiation Oncology, and the Eclipse Treatment Planning System which took the first place at the World Championships of Treatment Planning.

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The first digital mammography unit was successfully installed in the radiologist's dr. Evangelos Dimitriadis Radiology clinic: "AKTINODIAGNOSI KASTORIAS" The digital mammography unit SELENIA by HOLOGIC, is awarded by Frost and Sullivan Organization and has the 42% of the digital mammographers' market share. The women of Kastoria, can make digital mammography in their place with state of the art equipment, equivalent to this of the large diagnostic centers in Athens and Thessaloniki. The technological superiority of the mammography unit is summarized in the following features: ► DIRECT CONVERSION DETECTOR aSe It has a unique flat panel of amorphus selenium (aSe) for instant conversion of X-rays into a digital signal without any other conversion to an intermediate form of energy. It preserves image sharpness by completely eliminating the image degrading effects of light diffusion. ► 70mm pixel pitch, the most effective pixel size for visualization and characterization of smallest microcalcifications ►FAST PADDLES (full automatic self adjusting tilt) that provide proper and consistent compression across the entire breast without overcompression at the chest wall In order to find out where you can make a digital mammography, follow the link below: Hologic Digital Mammography Systems Reference List[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
