  1. Coherent Market Insights Particle therapy is still one of the most effective cancer treatments because to its high precision and low dose Particle Therapy is a type of external beam radiation for cancer therapy using fast-moving, high- energy beams of neutral particles for cancer treatment. The most recent type of particle therapy is ion therapy. Iontophoresis involves the use of water and low-pressure sodium iodide solutions. Ion therapy can be used in various types of cancers and other health conditions. This article focuses on two types of ion therapy namely brachytherapy therapy and externally applied brachytherapy therapy. Brachethera therapy involves the use of a portable brachytherapy, usually a plastic cylinder shaped like a backpack. The patient lies on his/her back under a low- pressure stream of sodium iodide solution. The brachytherapy then fills the air spaces inside the patient's respiratory tract, vaporizing cancer cells and promoting the passage of air through the lungs. Coherent Market Insights

  2. Coherent Market Insights High-energy particles are used in Particle Therapy. These high-energy particles are emitted from a beam of high energy by a technician attached to a device called a pulsed scanner. These beams enter the patient's body through the skin, through the blood, or through a hole in the patient's skull. A computer converts the internal computer data into external beams. The pulsed scanner maps the positions of these high-energy particles and the external beams. A treatment using a Particle Therapy machine is not unlike having a physical examination where a doctor diagnoses what illness is based on the results of the examination. However, unlike X-ray technology, there are no moving targets in particle therapy; thus, there is also no scope of misdiagnosis or risk of error. When images are produced by the scanning device, the machine identifies the location and size of the tumor by producing two-dimensional images. The location can be seen as a two- dimensional image by looking at a computer screen that displays three-dimensional (which is the usual imaging procedure viewed in medical facilities). If there are no images depicting the location of the tumor, then the doctors make their diagnosis based on geometric means. Therefore, even if an image reveals that the tumor is moving, the doctors cannot determine the exact nature of the movement. Read More : https://bit.ly/3znzIgZ Coherent Market Insights
