The SRT-100 is a state-of-the-art Superficial Radiation Therapy (SRT) system designed for the non-invasive treatment of non-melanoma skin cancers, such as basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma , as well as keloid scars . Unlike traditional surgical methods, SRT-100 delivers targeted low-dose radiation to the skin's surface, effectively treating cancerous cells while preserving healthy tissue beneath. How It Works The SRT-100 employs image-guided technology , often using ultrasound, to precisely locate and measure the tumor. A specialized applicator cone is then positioned over the lesion, delivering focused X-ray energy to the targeted area. This method ensures that only the cancerous tissue is treated, minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy skin.
