IMATEC's Contribution at the Syrian Annual Neurosurgery Conference

In November 2021, IMATEC participated in the Syrian Annual Neurosurgery Conference. Collaborating with Dr. Mohammed      Kadri, IMATEC delivered an insightful lecture introducing        HyperArc, a cutting-edge solution designed to enhance the precision and efficiency of radiosurgery.

This achievement followed the installation of the first TrueBeam system at Al-Bairouni Hospital, Harasta site, equipped with state-of-the-art technologies, such as the 6 Degrees of Freedom (6 DOF) robotic couch and the high-definition multi-leave collimator (HD MLC) for unparalleled precision in radiation delivery.

By integrating these advanced features with the HyperArc software, the TrueBeam accelerator offers the ability to perform stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) sessions with remarkable ease, efficiency, and precision. This not only optimizes treatment time but also sets a new standard for the delivery of advanced radiotherapy in Syria.


IMATEC’s commitment to bringing innovative solutions to the medical community highlights the growing potential of healthcare advancements in the region, ensuring that Syrian patients receive world-class treatment options.

IMATEC's Sponsorship of the Annual Conference of the Syrian Society of Medical Imaging Technicians

In January 2023, IMATEC participated as a sponsor of the Annual Conference of the Syrian Society of Medical Imaging Technicians. During this event, IMATEC delivered a lecture titled “Linear Accelerators and Their Role in Radiotherapy,” showcasing its dedication to advancing medical imaging and radiotherapy in Syria.

The conference also featured contributions from the Atomic Energy Commission and Al-Bairouni Hospital, which also have presented scientific lectures highlighting advancements in the field. Attendees included a diverse audience of physicians, medical physicists, radiology technicians, and students from the Medical and Health Institutes in Damascus. By engaging collaboration between various institutions, IMATEC reinforced its commitment to support and provide knowledge-sharing platforms for healthcare professionals in Syria.

Reactivation of Lattakia Hospital’s Linear Accelerator After Two Years of Shutdown

May, 2025

In cooperation with the Al-Amal Association for Cancer and Syrian American Medical Society (SAMS), IMATEC has maintained and reactivated the linear accelerator at Lattakia Hospital, which had been out of service for two years due to technical malfunctions.

Dr. Firas Hussein, the hospital’s medical director, told the SANA news agency that the machine's shutdown had disrupted radiotherapy treatment for a large number of patients. He emphasized that its reactivation marks a significant step toward enhancing healthcare services, as the machine is expected to serve between 50 and 100 patients daily.

He added that the machine offers advanced radiotherapy technologies, which will help improve the quality of care for cancer patients—particularly given the high demand on specialized centers in other governorates.

Volunteer Training Program for Biomedical Engineering Students

In May 2025, IMATEC engineers offered a voluntary training program in collaboration with Damascus University, Department of Biomedical Engineering.

The training program was for fifth-year Biomedical Engineering students, focusing on hands-on sessions in the field of nuclear medicine and Radiotherapy.

The program was led by Eng. Ferzat, Eng. Abdelelah, and Eng. Hani, who generously dedicated their time and expertise to support the next generation of biomedical engineers. Over the course of two months, the training sessions offered in-depth, practical exposure to the advanced medical equipment installed at Al-Bairouni Hospital by IMATEC.

The students received training on a variety of systems, including:

  • Halcyon Linear Accelerator
  • 21EX Linear Accelerator
  • Simulator system
  • Co-60 Therapy Units
  • Gamma Camera System
  • Treatment Planning system (TPS) Department

These sessions provided students with a unique opportunity to bridge the gap between academic knowledge and real-world clinical applications.
