MR-Linac (Magnetic Resonance-guided Radiation Therapy)

Manufacturer: Elekta

Year of installation: 2025

Elekta Unity MR-LINAC combines a high-field 1.5T MRI scanner with a linear accelerator, allowing real-time tumor visualization during radiation therapy and adaptive treatment adjustments for improved precision.

It is particularly valuable for tumors in organs that naturally move during treatment, including the prostate, pancreas, liver, and lungs. In selected cases, MR-LINAC may also reduce the number of treatment sessions compared to standard radiotherapy.

Unlike proton therapy, which focuses on reducing radiation exposure beyond the tumor, MR-LINAC focuses on real-time imaging and adaptive accuracy. At the Quirónsalud Proton Therapy Center, both technologies are available to support personalized treatment planning.

    MR-LINAC: Advanced Radiation Therapy

    MR-LINAC (Magnetic Resonance Linear Accelerator) represents one of the most significant innovations in modern radiation oncology. This technology integrates high-resolution MRI imaging with a linear accelerator, enabling clinicians to visualize tumors in real time during radiation delivery. Unlike conventional radiotherapy, where imaging is typically performed before treatment, MR-LINAC allows continuous soft-tissue visualization throughout each session. This enables adaptive, highly personalized treatment.

    We can only say THANK YOU to the incredible team that is part of the Quirón Proton Therapy Center. Our little angel has been treated there and from the minute Ana called us to start, the treatment has been INCREDIBLE. It is hard to see how a baby has to go through something like this, but the entire human team that is part of this center makes you feel confident in the team, calm and that the little one is fine despite the circumstances. A thousand thanks to Carla, Mireia, Bárbara, Marcos, Gonzalo, Ana's,... technicians, nurses, anesthesiologists, oncologists, everyone, you have made this easier for us on a personal level, but without a doubt you have given us peace of mind thanks to your empathy and without a doubt PROFESSIONALISM!

    As parents of a superhero who has finished his treatment today at this centre, we only have words of gratitude for each of the people who work there. From the reception staff Ana and Ana, the nurses Mjose and Nerea, the technicians (we are not mentioning anyone in particular because we would remember them all), the anaesthetists and Mireia. Thank you very much for the treatment, for every word of encouragement, for every smile and above all for the impeccable treatment you have given our son. Today, when the bell rang, it will always remain in our hearts.

    In a centre as technological as this one, what you expect to find is a group of highly professional people, which they are, but I want to highlight the great value of the staff on a human level, which is at the same level, if not more, of professional value. We have been supported by all of them, from cleaning, reception, technicians, health personnel. They have given us their support, affection and have made this ordeal more bearable. We are eternally grateful to all of them and especially to Ana and M. José, who encouraged us with their smile at 8 in the morning.

    I'm going to start the treatment in about two weeks. I've already been to the center doing some preliminary tests and both the medical staff and the counter staff were very professional.

    Excellent team that makes the treatment much easier. They are friendly, young and very professional. The place is pleasant with light and a layout that preserves the privacy of each patient. It is a great family that welcomes you and gives you security. The Prontonterapia machine is the latest technology but what really makes it extra is the team that designs each treatment to seek the best results for the patient. Thank you very much for your support and dedication.

    We cannot be more grateful to the entire team at this center. 33 days one after the other pampering us, taking care of us and worrying about every detail. All, absolutely all, tremendous professionals with an enormous sense of empathy towards the patients. From the reception team to the doctors, technicians, nurses... Not one of them has lacked a smile in the 33 days. And you have to see them taking care of the children. Infinite thanks to everyone. That moment will forever be in our hearts. All magnificent but special mention to Isma, always attentive to our coffees.
