Rectal Cancer Clinical Process
Treatment of Rectal Cancer with the 
Insert Rectal Applicator
Following a simple out patient preparation procedure an applicator
of appropriate size is inserted into the rectum with minimum
discomfort.
Position
A video microscope is used to align the applicator onto the treatment site.
The support arm is locked to maintain the correct position and if necessary
the treatment site is cleaned.
Radiation Delivery
The Micronode®. X-ray source is coupled
to the applicator and the radiation dose is
delivered.
The applicator position is monitored with a
video microscope incorporating movement
detection throughout the treatment.
