3-D Conformal Radiation Therapy

3–D conformal radiation is a radiation therapy technique that sculpts radiation beams to the shape of a tumor. This is ideal for treating tumors that have irregular shapes or that lie close to healthy tissues and organs.

Using this radiation technology, we're able to view a tumor in 3–D with the help of image guidance. Based on these images, we then deliver radiation beams from several directions to the tumor.

Matching the radiation dose to the exact dimensions of the tumor allows us to deliver a higher dose, while limiting radiation exposure to surrounding healthy tissues.
