High Precision IMRT
All
IMRT is not created equal. The technology at UCLA was designed in conjunction
with scientists in the Division of Medical Physics. UCLA is the first
institution to delivery high precision, high resolution IMRT using the Novalis
linear accelerator. The beam shaping device of the Novalis is equipped with 3
mm "leaves" as opposed to the standard 10 mm leaves of most other
commercial devices.
The UCLA IMRT Program is a team effort comprising
specialists in Radiation Oncology, Surgery, Urology, and Medical
Physics. The Medical Physics division in particular is staffed by 10
specialists, 6 of whom are Board Certified by the American Board of
Radiology. |
