Our state-of-the-art therapeutic equipment includes a high energy
linear accelerator for delivery of radiation treatments. To accurately
set up the treatment parameters, a treatment simulator and treatment
planning computer are utilized on site. Customized blocks, molds,
cradles, masks and head casts are made to meet our patients' individual
treatment needs.
Through the entire course of treatment, each patient receives
counseling on nutrition, general health and management of possible
side effects from radiation therapy treatments. We coordinate the
patient's care with treatment received at other health care facilities
and work closely with a patient's primary care and referring physician
to coordinate a personal care plan for recovery.
After treatments are completed, patients are referred back to
their primary care physician. Follow-up care provided by the Center
will continue as recommended by the referring physician.
