Diagnostic Imaging
The center contains a full set of imaging apparatus, which includes:
- Computed Tomography (CT) Scan
- 3T Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

At the earliest we can arrange patients to undergo CT Scan, 3T MRI, ultrasound and other imaging assessments on the same day, while PET-CT imaging can be arranged the next day.
Radiation Therapy
Radiotherapy is a treatment where radiation is used to kill cancer cells. It works by causing damage to the DNA of cancerous cells. This clinic offers state-of-the-art radiotherapy including TomoTherapy and LINAC to effectively treat various kinds of cancer with low side effects based on the patient’s specific needs.
Drugs and Other New Technology
We provide the full range of drugs designed for brain tumor treatment. The latest Chemotherapy, Target Therapy and Immunotherapy drugs are available, and Tumor Treating Fields (TTF) and other supporting treatments will also be provided.
