SPY-PHI: Real-Time Blood Flow Imaging

At Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital, surgeons use SPY-PHI, a handheld fluorescence imaging device that provides real-time images of lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes during surgery. It shows how well blood and lymphatic fluid are flowing, beyond what the human eye can see, helping ensure the area being treated is healing well before the procedure is even complete.

How It Helps in Surgery

• Shows blood and lymphatic flow live on screen during the operation
• Helps surgeons clearly identify lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes
• Supports more precise, informed decisions during the procedure
• Safe to repeat multiple times during the same surgery, with no radiation involved

Why This Matters for Patients

The lymphatic system can be clearly scanned during surgery and can help surgeons make more precise decisions resulting in better patient care.

SPECT

Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) is a nuclear medicine imaging technique using gamma rays. SPECT can be used to complement any imaging study where a true 3D representation is needed, such as tumour, infection, thyroid or bone imaging. As SPECT permits accurate localisation in 3D space, it is used to provide information about localised functioning of internal organs; for instance, functional cardiac or brain imaging.

What is a SPECT-CT Scan?

A SPECT-CT scan combines two types of scans into a single test. It helps doctors see how organs such as the heart, kidneys, thyroid, and brain are working, not just how they look. Doctors often use this scan for:

• Blood flow and pumping function of the heart
• Kidney and thyroid health
• Bone and joint conditions
• Cancer detection and treatment planning

Key Benefits for Patients

• Scans that used to take 40 minutes can now be done in just 15 minutes
• Automatic motion correction helps reduce the need for repeat scans
• The images are clearer and more accurate, and you are exposed to less radiation
• Because both scans are combined, you need fewer hospital visits
• This scan supports cancer, heart, and brain care

Why This Matters for Patients

You can get your scan done more quickly and comfortably, with less time spent waiting and worrying. Clear, dependable results help your doctor understand your condition and decide on the right care sooner.

Toumai® also pioneers the future of global surgery with its real-time telesurgery capability, allowing seamless operations across distances of up to 5,000 km without perceptible delay. From oncology and urology to gynaecology and gastrointestinal surgery, its multi-specialty versatility is designed to deliver safer, more effective outcomes. With the Toumai® system, Kokilaben Hospital continues to lead India’s healthcare landscape, ensuring patients receive world-class, technology-driven care.

Radixact® Radiation Therapy

Radiation therapy has always been a cornerstone of cancer treatment, especially for treating solid tumours, with nearly half of all cancer patients undergoing it during their treatment journey. However, conventional methods have often struggled with the limitations of tumor motion, collateral damage to healthy tissue, and inflexible treatment planning. Bringing in medical innovation by way of precision radiation therapy in India, Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital, Mumbai has introduced a major advancement in Indian oncology care — the Radixact® Treatment Delivery System. Developed by Accuray, the Radixact® system integrates advanced image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) and real-time tumor tracking, creating a comprehensive solution that redefines accuracy, safety, and patient comfort. It’s designed to adapt — not just deliver.

What makes Radixact® Unique?

The Radixact® system uses a unique helical delivery method, where the radiation beam continuously rotates 360 degrees around the patient, allowing precise targeting from all angles. This approach, combined with a built-in CT scanner, integrates real-time imaging and motion synchronization. This means the tumor’s position can be assessed and adjusted for immediately before and even during treatment — a critical feature for tumours that move due to breathing, such as those in the lungs or liver. What sets Radixact® apart is Synchrony® motion tracking technology, which allows the radiation beam to follow the tumor as the patient breathes. This dynamic adjustment means radiation is consistently delivered to the tumor, minimizing exposure to nearby healthy tissues and reducing potential side effects.

Clinical Versatility and Impact

The reach of Radixact® is not limited to any specific tumour type or location. It is highly effective to treat a wide range of cancers — that include breast, prostate, brain, head & neck, spinal, and thoracic malignancies — making it a versatile solution for complex cases. The system's capacity to provide more intense, safer doses of radiation also means fewer treatment sessions, both a convenience and accelerated relief for patients.

The Radixact® radiation therapy can adapt to different situations as per the need of the time. As the tumor evolves in size or form even minutely during the course of treatment, the system enables medical experts to modify plans accordingly. This helps ensure optimal treatment effectiveness throughout the course.

Patient-Centered Outcomes

For patients, Radixact® offers significant advantages:

• Reduced side effects
• Shorter treatment durations
• Improved treatment outcomes
• Enhanced patient comfort

These factors are focused to provide patients with a better quality of life during and after their cancer treatment. Thus, encouraging more and more cancer patients to seek expert medical care fearlessly with a goal of long-term wellness.

High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) for Prostate Cancer

High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is an advanced procedure to fight prostate cancer. It is a focal ablation treatment that uses high frequency sound waves to destroy prostate cancer cells. The machine gives off sound waves to heat up and destroys the prostate cancer cells. Your doctor may recommend HIFU as a treatment if your cancer is confined to the prostate gland. Use of HIFU is not possible if the cancer has spread to other parts of your body which means it is metastatic or advanced prostate cancer. The most commonly done HIFU treatment is focused towards specific areas of the prostate gland; this is known as focal HIFU. Here are a few key advantages of the HIFU:

• Day care or one day admission procedure
• No incision on the body- minimal pain
• Catheter only for 3-5 days
• Only cancer part of prostate is treated
• Preservation of urinary control and potency (erection of penis)
• No major complications
