Today’s most effective
radiation oncology methods.
Rotating Gamma System –
An innovative form of stereotactic radiosurgery that
delivers greater control and accuracy to destroy small, solid-mass
tumors and other targets with short treatments, no incisions and
almost no side effects. We’re the first in the nation to have
this leading-edge technology!
IMRT – We were the
first free-standing facility in the area to introduce intensity-modulated
radiation therapy and deliver radiation more directly to tumors
while sparing healthy tissue and minimizing side effects.
B-mode acquisition targeting (BAT) –
Using ultrasound, this system localizes targets prone to daily shifts,
such as the prostate. In just minutes, it helps ensure the treatment
will be delivered precisely to the treatment area.
3-D conformal treatment – Helps
identify and differentiate healthy tissue from treatable cancerous
tissue. Can increase cure rates and decrease complications.
Superficial X-ray machine –
A specialized X-ray machine that offers radiation therapy for superficial
tumors such as skin cancers and cancers around the eyes but spares
healthy tissues.
Wide-bore CT scanner – Available
for 3-D treatment planning and to accommodate larger-size patients
much more comfortably than a typical CT scanner. Allows for precise
radiation delivery and greater
accuracy in determining tumor treatment volume.
