Radiation is used to destroy cells in cancerous tumors. Treatments are provided under the guidance of the highly trained and experienced professionals who use state-of-the-art equipment which allows for treatment of both superficial and deep tumors while minimizing radiation to normal surrounding tissue.
State-of-the-art equipment includes:
- Varian 2100EX Linear Accelerator with 6MV/18MV photons and electrons with IMRT (Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy) capabilities
- Varian 2100EX Linear Accelerator with 6MV/10MV photons and electrons with IMRT capabilities
- CT (Computed Tomograpy) Scanning at both centers
- ADAC Pinnacle 3 Dimensional IMRT Treatment Planning Computer
- Varian Simulator
- Radioactive sources for intracavitary implants
- IMPAC Record and Verify Treatment System
