Patient pathway in Radiotherapy

At Ibn Khaldoun Medical Center, your radiotherapy pathway is fully personalized and supervised by a dedicated team. It begins with a thorough consultation with our radiation oncologist to define the protocol suited to your case. This is followed by the simulation and localization stage, during which a precise CT scan is performed to delineate the area to be treated.

Next comes the dosimetric planning, tailored by our medical physicists and dosimetrists. The treatment itself consists of a series of short, painless sessions during which you are comfortably positioned and guided at every step.Throughout the process, regular follow-up and personalized support are provided to optimize both the effectiveness of the treatment and your comfort.

1. Welcoming the patient and initiating the medical file:

4. Simulation (positioning) - Dosimetry

The radiation oncologist identifies the area to be treated and the organs to be protected.

Simulation scanner: Acquisition of images using the simulation scanner.
Note: the simulation scanner is not performed for diagnostic purposes and therefore no medical report will be issued for the patient.

Dosimetry: A personalized dosimetric study is carried out to plan your treatment precisely.

5. Radiotherapy treatment and follow-up consultation

First session: verification of the treatment technique.

Medical validation

Subsequent sessions: Daily verification of the patient’s positioning using image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT).

Medical consultations during radiotherapy for follow-up and treatment safety.
