Confidence is an important part of a radiation therapy planning session, especially when a facility is treating as many as 30 patients or more per day. Knowing you are using the best products available and providing patients with the best technology and treatment possible can increase that confidence. When Agnesian Healthcare Cancer Care Services in Fond du Lac, Wis., installed Civco’s Universal Couchtop on its computer tomography (CT) and advanced linear accelerator (linac) platforms, confidence in its treatment technology was boosted in numerous ways.
The variety of radiation therapy options continues to grow with the development of treatment planning software, imaging systems for guidance, linear accelerators and more. The external-beam radiation therapy (EBRT) market includes many different types of treatment, from traditional whole-body irradiation (WBI) to conformal radiation therapy (3-D CRT) and intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). Despite a major decline in 2009, the U.S. radiation therapy market is bouncing back, according to a study published in July by IMV Medical Information Division.[1] Improvements in technologies are helping to drive activity as clinics and hospitals implement advanced techniques to more accurately target and treat cancers.

Imagine being told that complete removal of your left eye was required to stop your spreading cancer. Kathy Kelly of New Milford, Conn., was told just that. An initial biopsy confirmed cancer of her eyelid. In April 2011, surgery revealed Kelly had squamous cell carcinoma, and the disease was not completely removed.
The eTRAX electromagnetic needle tip tracking system is now available in 18 gauge, offering improved image-guided navigation. eTRAX allows physicians to clearly track the needle tip on screen in real-time or with preacquired 3-D volume datasets, facilitating safe and accurate instrument placement when targeting difficult-to-access lesions.
