Planning In 3-D
Using the 3-D
treatment-planning computer, oncologists can map more precisely
cancerous areas located within body cavities and tissue. The
treatment planning computer is an integrated program of digital,
computer, x-ray and virtual reality technology.
CT
Simulation
Another
innovation is the CT Simulator, which allows the radiation
oncologist to more accurately plan a course of treatment. Rather
than manually performing the radiation dosing calculations, the
CT Simulator uses the latest dosimetric treatment planning
software to calculate the dosage directly. This technology
reduces the amount of time the patient must spend in the
Simulator.
