Radioactive drug therapy through a vein involves injecting a drug with radioactive properties into your bloodstream. This drug travels throughout your body, targeting and destroying harmful cells, such as cancer cells, while sparing healthy ones. It's a non-invasive procedure to treat certain diseases.

CT guidance for insertion of radiation therapy fields involves using a CT scan to accurately map the area of your body where radiation will be applied. This ensures the radiation targets only the necessary area, minimizing impact to healthy tissues.

This is a first-time patient visit where a healthcare professional spends 60-74 minutes with you. It involves a comprehensive evaluation, including your medical history and current health condition. They'll also advise on preventive health measures and formulate a treatment plan if needed.

This procedure involves collecting necessary data to plan the best radiation treatment. It may cover 3 or more areas or any area requiring special attention. Data collection includes imaging scans and tests to understand the disease's extent and to tailor a precise, effective treatment plan.

This procedure involves using radiation to treat a cranial lesion in one session. A precise dose of radiation targets the lesion, destroying abnormal cells while sparing healthy tissue. It's a non-invasive method, meaning no surgical incision is needed.

Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is a type of cancer treatment. It uses advanced technology to manipulate photon beams of radiation to conform to the shape of a tumor. IMRT allows for the radiation dose to conform more precisely to the three-dimensional shape of the tumor by modulating—or controlling—the intensity of the radiation beam. This can result in better tumor control and less harm to healthy tissue.

This service involves a follow-up appointment for existing patients, lasting between 40 to 54 minutes. During this time, your healthcare provider will assess your current health status, discuss any changes or concerns, review your treatment plan, and answer any questions you may have.

CT guidance for insertion of radiation therapy fields involves using a CT scan to accurately map the area of your body where radiation will be applied. This ensures the radiation targets only the necessary area, minimizing impact to healthy tissues.

Special radiation treatment is a medical procedure that uses high-energy rays to destroy or damage cancer cells. It's a targeted approach that aims to minimize harm to healthy tissues. The treatment duration varies based on individual health conditions.
