Additional services include:
Radiation Therapy SBRT, SRS
SRS-non-surgical radiation therapy is used to treat functional abnormalities and small tumors of the brain with sub-millimeter accuracy.
SBRT-stereotactic body radiation therapy is a cancer treatment that delivers extremely precise, very intense doses of radiation to cancer cells while minimizing damage to healthy tissue.
IGRT Image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) uses medical imaging to help provide precise and accurate radiation treatment.
SGRT Surface Guided Radiation therapy allows us to create a real-time, 3-dimensional map of your skin using multiple cameras to track the surface of your body. This increases the accuracy and can allow for a “tattoo-less” course of treatment.
4D CT imaging
Deep Inspiration Breath Hold (DIBH) is a technique used while breast cancer patients receive radiation treatment.
