IGRT - Image Guided Radiation Therapy |
||
|
|
|
Image Guided Radiation Therapy is the newest of the techniques for delivering radiation. It requires taking images prior to the delivery of treatment. There are many methods of implementing this from Cone Beam CT to Stereoscopic imaging. |

Prostate Seed Implants |
||
|
|
|
Our Medical Director, Dr. West, has performed over 3000 prostate seed implants. We implant both Iodine (I-125) and Palladium (PD-103) |

Image Fusion |
||
|
|
|
Image fusion is the ”summing” of different image modalities such as CT, MRI and PET. It is often easier to see tumors on an MRI or PET. Image fusion allows us to accurately determine the tumor on the MRI and plan for its treatment on the CT. |

Virtual Simulation |
||
|
|
|
Once we image our patients, they can go home since we have a virtual patient in the images, we can perform all of the planning as if the patient is still present in the facility. |
