21ST-CENTURY SMART OFFICE
Our office is designed to improve patient outcomes. Each visit starts with a smart card. One swipe calls up all the medical records, data and images used in your treatment. This system also guides our staff through carefully planned procedures and protocols each and every time. We also run a proprietary Quality Control System that ensures medical accuracy and compliance. Together our systems deliver smooth workflow, fast treatment, short wait times, consistency and high medical accuracy. Furthermore, our systems effectively leverage the improvements in our latest radiation technologies.

Image Guided Radiation Technology

Image Guided Radiation Technology (IGRT) improves the accuracy of the radiation therapy to limit damage to surrounding healthy body tissue. This is important in prostate cancer. The prostate requires high doses of radiation to destroy cancer cells but is close to the bladder and rectum, which are sensitive to radiation. Furthermore, the prostate is an organ that can move. During planning and treatment, computed tomography is used to take 3-D images frequently. Comparing these images allows our team to determine the latest organ position and to adjust the radiation field during treatment.

Intensity – Modulated Raditation Therapy

Intensity – Modulated Raditation Therapy (IMRT) is a high-precision radiation targeting system that enables the radiation team to “paint” a tumor in three dimensions with a single powerful beam composed of hundreds of smaller beams. The smaller beams bypass healthy tissue, avoiding damage, until they coalesce into a single powerful beam that destroys the tumor.

RapidArc™ Volumetric Arc Therapy

RapidArc™ Volumetric Arc Therapy is a technology that improves the consistency of the radiation dose while making treatment up to eight times faster. It allows the beam to irradiate the entire tumor rather than irradiating it in segments as with older technologies.
