Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) – Focused Treatment

One of the major features available through use of the Trilogy system is Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS). In SRS, a number of precisely directed beams of ionizing radiation are aimed from diverse directions and meet at a specific point within the body, delivering very high doses of radiation to that point. As with other treatment techniques available at Verity, a CT scan is used to provide a 3-dimensional view of the tumor. This data is used to develop complex plans designed to deliver highly focused radiation while sparing normal adjacent tissues. In some cases an entire course of treatment is given in a single treatment.
