Radiation OncologyTrilogy
Trilogy™

Our Trilogy linear accelerator represents a new generation in cancer care. We're able to treat cancers with radiation more precisely than ever before. That means we can treat tumors that were caught at a very early stage, when they are quite small, as well as large tumors. Now, more than ever before, we're able to target just the cancer and spare the normal tissue surrounding it.

The Trilogy system combines a treatment machine with an imaging machine. That means we can establish exactly where the tumor is, at the moment of treatment, and position patients very precisely for delivering radiation doses with submillimeter accuracy. When you combine that with a beam that is both more powerful and more focused, that's a very potent combination.

What makes this system different is that we can use it to offer a variety of treatment modalities, including intensity-modulated radiotherapy, (IMRT), image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT), and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), the most advanced treatment modes currently available. That means treating a wide range of cancers: from small lesions and metastases to larger tumors, both intracranial and extracranial. The choice of technique can be customized for each patient at the discretion of the radiation oncologist.
