External Beam Radiation Therapy



IMRT Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy
The most advanced type of treatment planning and delivery system allowing higher radiation doses to the tumor and less to surrounding normal tissue resulting in higher probabilities of cure with fewer side effects.

3D - Conformal Radiation Therapy
CAT scan treatment planning is used to develop a three dimensional conformal plan to treat the cancer as efficiently and conformally as possible.

Multileaf Collimeter
The multileaves in the head of the linear accelerator replace large cumbersome blocks shortening treatment time and facilitating IMRT.

Doorless Vault
Helps the patient feel more secure and less locked in.

Dedicated CT Simulator
On-site CT simulator for both IMRT and 3D conformal treatment planning.




Brachytherapy

High Dose Rate Brachytherapy
A higher energy source is used for shorter treatment times when an intracavitary or interstitial implant is part of the treatment plan.

Prostate Brachytherapy
One of the three main treatment modalities for prostate cancer along with IMRT and surgery.

Gamma Knife Stereotactic Radiosurgery
Specifically for brain lesions including metastatic lesions, primary brain tumors or benign lesions such as AVMs or trigeminial neuralgia.

Radiopharmaceuticals
Radioactive Iodine for benign and malignant thyroid disease. Samarium for Bone disease.
