Treatment Solutions

Our Xstrahl therapy range comprises 4 systems that span low energy units for superficial treatments of clinical conditions through to higher energy units for orthovoltage treatments.

Xstrahl 100	Low energy option, superficial and Grenz Ray therapy system.
Xstrahl 150	Superficial therapy system, higher energy range and larger depth dose than the Xstrahl 100.
Xstrahl 200	Superficial and orthovoltage system, treats the same superficial conditions as the Xstrahl 100 and 200 and provides palliative treatments.
Xstrahl 300	The most powerful system in the Xstrahl range, this system is ideally suited for orthovoltage techniques.

Basal Cell Carcinoma

Basal Cell Carcinoma is the most common form of skin cancer. The tumours typically occur in exposed areas; mostly the face and head. The cancers rarely metastasize and therefore fatalities are exceptionally uncommon. Multiple primary tumours often occur and may be large in size, causing discomfort and disfigurement.

Squamous Cell Carcinoma

The incidence of Squamous Cell Carcinomas is lower than that of Basal Cell Carcinomas, but it is the more aggressive variety, with a higher mortality rate. Like Basal Cell Carcinomas, the cause is often associated with sun exposure, although in the case of Squamous Cell Carcinomas, cancer is more likely to metastasize.

Keloid

Keloid scarring often forms at the site of skin injuries, and typically is shiny and dark pink or brown in appearance. Radiotherapy is an effective form of treatment; particularly if executed soon after formation of the scar.

Dermatological Conditions

Benign skin conditions that include inflammatory disorders, degenerative disorders and hypertrophic disorders.

Mycosis Fungoides

Mycosis Fungoides is a class of cutaneous T Cell Lymphoma affecting the skin. Small, localised, superficial lesions can be successfully treated with low energy X-ray therapy to provide effective palliation of symptoms.

Palliative Care

Xstrahl systems can be used as a source of palliative care, to improve the quality of life of patients. X-ray therapy is used to treat painful boney metastases.

Benign Conditions

Radiotherapy is sometimes used to treat benign conditions. Superficial X-ray therapy can provide symptomatic control in such benign conditions as Dupytrens Contracture and for many benign tumours of skin and other soft tissues.

Xstrahl 300

The Xstrahl 300 is a dedicated Orthovoltage unit for treating superficial and orthovoltage techniques.

The most powerful system in the medical range, the Xstrahl 300 X-Ray therapy system is ideally suited for orthovoltage techniques and offers proven treatment for boney metastases and benign applications in addition to treating superficial conditions. The patient can adopt any position to ensure maximum comfort throughout the treatment exposure.

The ceiling mounted version can be easily moved when not in use to allow the treatment room to be used for other clinical purposes.

Full dosimetry control, applicator and filter recognition is available with all orthovoltage treatment units.
