What technology is at this clinic?
– At CCI, we have a state-of-the-art CT simulator and three treatment machines.
– CT simulator: We have a Siemens large bore CT simulator. Once in your treatment position, it takes high-quality images that allow your doctor and team to plan your treatment with accuracy and precision.
– TrueBeam: The TrueBeam is a versatile machine that can treat nearly any type of cancer. It provides modern radiation treatment individualized to your particular cancer. Treatments last only a few minutes and are delivered with submillimeter accuracy to kill cancer and minimize the amount of damage to surrounding tissues and organs. The TrueBeam machine delivers three-dimensional conformal treatment, intensity modulated radiation treatment (IMRT), volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT), and stereotactic radiation therapy (SBRT). These are all sophisticated techniques found at any major cancer treatment center, delivered with the convenience of being close to home.
– Halcyon: The Halcyon is a modern linear accelerator that delivers very rapid treatment to the most common types of cancer. Treatments last around one minute, once placed in the correct position, and deliver treatment with submillimeter accuracy to kill cancer and minimize damage to surrounding tissues and organs. The Halcyon machine delivers three-dimensional conformal treatment, intensity modulated radiation treatment (IMRT), and volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT).
– Bravos: The Bravos is a high-dose-rate (HDR) afterloader system used for brachytherapy, typically for gynecological cancers. It houses a radioactive wire that can deliver internal radiation, or brachytherapy, for specific cancer types.
– With each of our machines, we can utilize image-guided radiation (IGRT) to verify proper positioning before delivering radiation treatment. Read more in Dr. Pearlman’s blog here.
