CDT-WEST Center of Diagnostics and Therapy uses Elekta linear accelerators with breathing adjustment to protect healthy tissues during radiotherapy. A complete 38-session IMRT course may cost around €27,000 – typically covering outpatient treatment, administrative coordination, and follow-up documentation. As an academic teaching hospital of the University of Cologne, the clinic offers advanced German technology like VMAT sessions 8x faster than standard IMRT.
