Radiation therapy uses large doses of radiation to eliminate cancer cells and shrink tumors. Our advanced technology allows the radiation to be precisely directed to the affected area, targeting the tumor with a high degree of accuracy while minimizing damage to the surrounding skin and tissue.
Radiation therapy may be given alone or in combination with other treatments.
GE CT Simulator
- This specialty CT Scanner provides images of the treatment area using lasers, cameras, and a respiratory gating system to accurately outline the margins of the cancer.
- Its 4DCT capabilities provides a more accurate assessment of target shape and trajectory, as well as artifact reduction.
- All data gathered by the CT Simulator is used for treatment planning and then uploaded to the Varian Edge Radiosurgery system for treatment delivery.
Varian Edge Radiosurgery System
The Edge Radiosurgery system offers a new line of defense in the fight against cancer for both oncologists and patients. This radiation therapy machine provides fast, focused treatments.
- Edge’s knifelike beam accurately targets and destroys tumors with surgical precision, delivering precise radiation doses to tumors while remaining minimally invasive.
- Minimizes risk to surrounding healthy tissue with a real-time tumor tracking system that calculates the patient’s movement by monitoring respiratory motion.
- Able to treat many small intracranial and extracranial tumors.
