The patient’s visit begins with a consultation with a physician specialist from our team of experts, who will determine if the patient’s condition is suitable for SBRT treatment. During the consultation, the specialist will explain in detail the therapeutic procedure and answer any questions for the patient.

Once the consultation is complete, the patient proceeds to simulation, which is the process of creating a specific road map to treat the patient’s cancer. If necessary, a custom immobilization device will be designed to ensure that the patient remains still during treatment and that the radiation beam hits the precise target in the body. During the simulation, a computed tomography (CT) is performed to identify the exact size, shape, and position of the cancer target in the body. From this information, a team of specialists generates treatment delivery parameters to treat the cancer.

Next, the team of physicians, physicists, dosimetrists, and therapists develop a patient specific treatment plan that will guide the radiation delivery devices to treat the precise cancer target in the body. Each of these steps lead to the development of the optimal treatment plan to remove the patient’s cancer.
