At Radiation Therapy Center, We Provide:
3-D conformal treatment interfaces with the Radiation Center's computer tomography (CT) scanner, providing the treatment team with valuable information about a tumor's size and extent. The Radiation Therapy Center's 3-Dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) technology offers additional advanced treatment options beyond conventional 2-D radiation therapy. This precise radiotherapy approach permits the focusing of significantly higher radiation doses onto the tumor, while excluding the unaffected surrounding normal tissue. Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) is the most sophisticated form of computer-delivered radiation therapy. It uses a powerful computer model to plan therapy and multileaf collimator to deliver highly focused radiation doses with minimal damage to surrounding tissues. It is being used to treat cancer of the prostate, head and neck, brain, spine, thyroid, and mediastinum.	We Use State-of-the-Art Equipment, Which Includes: Dual Photon Linear Accelerator Philips ADAC Treatment Planning System Philips Large Bore CT Scanner Standard Simulator IMPAC for Record and Verify

BAT Ultrasound Technology for Prostate Cancer Patients:
Prostate cancer is one of the top 3 cancers diagnosed in men. This state-of-the-art technology uses ultrasound to accurately visualize the prostate gland for daily radiation treatments. With 3-D imaging, we can pinpoint the exact position of the prostate gland for radiation treatments. Smaller radiation fields are used to reduce side effects to the bladder and rectum. With this system, the patient will receive more radiation with fewer problems and overall improved outcome.

Image Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT) Using BrianLAB Extrac X-Ray 6D
A highly advanced computerized process for improving the accuracy of radiation delivered to kill tumors in cancer patients. Traditional radiation therapy is compromised by inability to 3-dimensionally confirm that the tumor is in perfect position, as well as the fact that patients move involuntarily (breathe) during treatment, making the tumor a "moving target." It is very difficult to prevent radiation from damaging nearby healthy tissue. IGRT uses high resolution and advanced imaging technologies to account for position and motion, thereby sparing healthy tissues.
