About the clinic
Radiation therapy for brain tumors at Assuta Medical Center in Tel Aviv uses advanced MRI-guided linear accelerator (MR LINAC) technology. This system targets tumors with high precision and may shorten the total duration of treatment. In some specific cases, this advanced radiation method can even serve as an alternative to surgery.
Advanced MR LINAC Technology
The clinic uses the MR LINAC system for external beam radiotherapy. This technology combines high-resolution imaging with radiation delivery. It allows doctors to see the tumor clearly while the machine is working. This accuracy helps protect healthy brain tissue surrounding the tumor. Small changes in the tumor’s position are tracked in real-time. Because the targeting is so precise, many patients require fewer sessions than traditional therapy. This approach effectively manages tumors that were previously difficult to treat with standard radiation.
Fast Diagnostics and Planning
Treatment at the center begins with a rapid diagnostic phase. Patients receive necessary imaging like MRI, CT, or PET-CT scans very quickly. Results and consultations are typically ready within 1 to 3 days. This speed helps the medical team create a personalized treatment plan without delay. Faster planning is crucial for brain tumor cases where timing matters most. The facility handles all imaging on-site to keep the process simple for the patient.

Assuta Medical Center is the largest private medical complex in Israel. It operates 11 hospitals and works with over 1,500 doctors. In 2011, it became the first Israeli hospital to earn JCI accreditation. This international seal of approval confirms the clinic follows strict safety and quality protocols. Patients benefit from a high standard of care in a modern environment. The hospital setup allows for a smooth transition from diagnosis to daily radiation sessions.
