Computerized Tomography (CT) Simulation

CT simulation enhances radiation oncology treatment planning by generating three-dimensional images to achieve the utmost accuracy in targeting and mapping specific treatment areas. With CT simulation, our oncologists can deliver high doses of radiation to a tumor while minimizing the amount of radiation to normal, surrounding tissues.

Cancer treatment planning is enhanced with the use of a three-dimensional treatment planning computer. Using the information and images provided by the CT simulator, the computer generates a treatment plan tailored to each patient's specific cancer care needs. Guided by three-dimensional models, the radiation oncologist, physicist and dosimetrist can accurately determine the optimal dose of radiation to be delivered during treatment.
