Technology
n Varian’s TrueBeam Linear Accelerator is a newly advanced technology that represents an exponential leap forward in the speed, power
and precision of radiation therapy.
The TrueBeam Linear Accelerator
delivers radiation at a faster dose
rate than most conventional linear
accelerators, which translates into
shorter treatment times for patients,
even cutting treatment periods up to
50%. The TrueBeam technology also
has a 4D imaging system and respiratory gating that improves accuracy
to under a millimeter and reduces
radiation exposure to the patient by
one-quarter.
n The Marian PET/CT Center
includes a PET/CT scanner and a
state-of-the-art CT scanner dedicated for patients undergoing treatment planning for radiation therapy.
Using these scanners, physicians
will be able to quickly and accurately
identify tumors, as well as healthy
tissues to be avoided. In addition
to the highest quality images available today, these scanners will also
provide Mission Hope physicians
with the ability to target movement
in a technique called 4 Dimensional
Computed Tomography (4DCT).
n MultiCare Platinum Prone
Breast Biopsy Table is offered
within the Marian Breast Imaging
Center and offers the latest advances
in stereotactic technology making it
the ideal system for characterization
of calcifications, masses and architectural distortions.
