5D Clinics

5D Clinics in Claremont, Western Australia, is a facility dedicated to providing advanced radiation treatments. Established in 2018, the clinic utilises the CyberKnife System, a robotic technology for radiotherapy. The clinic's team, which includes radiation oncologists, medical physicists, and radiation therapists, collaborates to create individualised and comprehensive treatment plans for its patients.

The clinic is noted for being the first private facility in Australia to treat patients using the CyberKnife system. This technology is designed for high precision in targeting tumours. The system's robotic arm moves around the patient to deliver high-energy x-ray beams from various angles. It also uses real-time, x-ray guided motion synchronisation technology to track tumour movement, which is particularly beneficial for cancers in areas affected by respiration.

Treatment sessions are non-invasive and typically last between 30 and 60 minutes. The approach aims to minimise radiation exposure to surrounding healthy tissue. Following treatment, the clinical team provides post-treatment care and schedules follow-up appointments to monitor patient progress. The clinic works as part of a patient's multi-disciplinary medical team to ensure integrated care.
