The VERSA HD is an advanced radiation therapy machine designed for the precise treatment of various cancers, including breast, neuro, and pelvic cancers. This video provides a comprehensive summary of the VERSA HD machine's features and how it ensures safe, efficient, and targeted radiation therapy for cancer patients.

Patient Positioning & Immobilization:
The patient lies on a treatment couch that moves into position for radiation therapy. During CT scans, vacuum bags and plastic molds are customized to each patient, ensuring precision with every session. For head & neck cancer patients, a thermoplastic mask is molded to minimize movement during the treatment.

Radiation Delivery Process:
The gantry head of the VERSA HD rotates around the patient, delivering targeted radiation to the treatment area. The machine uses lasers and markings to align the radiation accurately. To ensure safety, the gantry does not touch the patient, and if any obstruction is detected, the treatment automatically stops.

Safety & Monitoring:
Safety is a top priority, with treatments controlled remotely via a computerized console located outside the treatment room. Cameras are used to monitor the patient's condition and movements throughout the procedure, and patients can signal discomfort using hand gestures, halting treatment if needed.

Cancer-Specific Setups:
The VERSA HD is equipped with specific setups for different types of cancer. For breast cancer, patients use a breast board with specialized headrest and arm positioning. Pelvic cancer patients are supported by a knee rest to maintain spinal alignment, and bladder protocols are followed for pelvic treatments to reduce bowel toxicity.

Efficiency & Patient Comfort:
Each treatment session lasts 5 to 10 minutes, requiring the patient to remain still. Once the session is complete, the couch moves out, allowing the patient to leave comfortably. VERSA HD offers a precise, safe, and efficient radiation therapy experience with advanced patient immobilization and real-time monitoring.
