IMRT:

Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy allows us to conform high doses of radiation to tumor cells while sparing normal surrounding tissues.  Additionally, with sophisticated treatment planning software, we are able to deliver different dose levels to different targets, allowing us to better optimize each patient's treatment to the risk and tolerance of each body area.  This leads to improved radiation delivery to tumors, while reducing significantly side effects.

IGRT:

Closer shaping of radiation delivery around cancer targets means that precision and accuracy of targeting are critical to success. Thus, we also offer cutting-edge Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT).  This revolutionary innovation utilizes Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) to ensure the high accuracy of daily treatments by mapping the set-ups in a 3-dimensional space, which is a significant improvement over the 2-dimensional image created by traditional port-films.  As a result, we are able to use the dose shaping of IMRT and escalate the dose to the tumors, while using IGRT to minimize the risk of a marginal miss.
