Treatments

Technologies

Varian TrueBeam™ Linear Accelerator

The most state-of-the-art technology of its kind in Alabama, TrueBeamT from Varian Medical Systems integrates advanced imaging and motion management technologies to target tumors with sub-millimeter accuracy - and short treatment times. The system can be used to treat many forms of cancer, including complex cases where a tumor is located in the lungs, breast, liver, abdomen, head or neck.

Varian 21IX Linear Accelerator

The Varian Clinac® delivers exact doses to the patient in the lowest number of monitor units without sacrificing efficacy. Other innovations include the highest resolution multileaf collimator to treat even the smallest lesions, and the most precise beam control for pinpoint accuracy in radiotherapy.

Varian Eclipse™

Eclipse™ is a comprehensive treatment planning system that allows physicians to quickly and effectively tailor plans for each patient, and supports image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) and Dynamic Adaptive Radiation Therapy (DART™).

Varian ARIA® oncology information system

ARIA aggregates patient data into an oncology-specific fully-electronic medical chart, streamlining care delivery and preparing your practice for EMR management.

Varian On-Board Imager

The Varian On-Board Imager® (OBI) provides image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) for improved tumor targeting and options for lower patient doses. It allows clinicians to make faster and better-informed decisions on whether to continue current treatment or change course.

Varian & BrainLAB Radiosurgery

Varian Medical Systems and BrainLAB's radiosurgery platform offers a full spectrum of features, including the ability to locate and treat tumors that move with respiration.

Varian RPM Respiratory Gating

RPM offers gating tumors located in the chest and abdomen.

BrainLAB ExacTrac X-Ray 6D Adaptive

The ExacTrac precisely captures the location of tumors moving with respiration, allowing clinicians to treat the tumor while avoiding other critical moving structures.

iPLAN

BrainLAB's iPLAN software suite is designed specifically with the radiosurgeon in mind, employing sophisticated planning technologies.

Brachytherapy

Brachytherapy treats cancer by placing radioactive sources directly into or by the treatment area. This enables clinicians to deliver a high dose with minimal impact on surrounding healthy tissues.

Philips CT Simulation Workstation

Philips' AcQSim3 workstation allows clinicians to view detailed vascular, soft tissue, bony, and abnormal structures at the same time with volume-rendered Digitally Composited Radiographs (DCRs). AcQSim3's virtual fluoroscopy permits fast target definition and incorporates 4D gated imaging data for more accurate visualization of tumor movement.

Philips Pinnacle3 Radiation Therapy Planning System

Pinnacle3's volumetric rendering allows visualization of actual patient anatomy. Software can custom shape organ models according to specialty or reshape pre-defined 3D organ structure models to fit the patient's organs, saving valuable time.

Philips Model Based Segmentation

Philips' Model Based Segmentation (MBS) software aids image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) by offering a library of predefined organ structure models that automatically reshape to fit a patient's organs, saving valuable time. MBS also allows for custom models, and allows physicians to quickly adapt treatment plans based on a patient's response.

Philips P3IMRT

P3IMRT integrates with Pinnacle3 and AcQSim3, allowing intensity modulated radiation therapy planners to localize the target using CT, MR, or MCD PET images. Model Based Segmentation (MBS) software automatically adapts a predefined shape to fit the patient's organs, while Direct Machine Parameter Optimization (DMPO) optimizes maps for desired dose distribution.

Philips Syntegra

Syntegra software automatically superimposes physiologic data (such as PET) with anatomic data (CT or MR), simplifying tumor identification, shortening the radiation therapy planning cycle, and promoting more confident diagnoses.

Philips Big Bore CT

Philips' CT Big Bore oncology configuration provides 4D visualization of patients with immobilization or patient monitoring devices, intravenous delivery devices, respiratory devices and other apparatus without compromising image quality or positioning. It also assists in more precise radiation dose calculations.

microSelectron® Digital

The microSelectron Digital software assists with treatment planning and imaging solutions to treat cancer for which High Dose Rate (HDR) and Pulsed Dose Rate (PDR) brachytherapy is suitable.

Elekta Mosaiq

Elekta software assists radiation oncology teams in providing complex treatments to patients through an electronic medical record (EMR) solution that streamlines processes needed to plan, verify, and deliver advanced treatments.
