- The IMPAC/MOSAIQ Record and Verify System ensures patient safety.
- The ACQSim CT simulator allows treatment planning to take place in the exact position the patient will be treated.
- By combining information from MRI, CT or X-ray images with scans from the ACQSim, we are capable of planning a radiation treatment that precisely maximizes the dose to the tumor while sparing normal tissue.
- The ADAC Pinnacle Treatment Planning system then creates an individual treatment plan from three-dimensional images of the tumor.
- Real-time prostate seed brachytherapy is available.
- IMRT - Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy is highly accurate radiotherapy that utilizes a computer controlled linear accelerator to deliver precise radiation doses to malignant tumors
- Portal Vision - offers an efficient automated process for physicians to verify if patients are positioned correctly.
