Radiation Treatment in the Phoenix Area

:

Eight of the top cancer centers in the Phoenix area recognize the clinical and patient benefits of using AlignRT®, the latest precision, radiation technology.  AlignRT® helps position you with sub-millimeter accuracy and helps protect your heart from unwanted side effects during your radiation cancer treatment.

How does it work?

AlignRT projects a light on your skin, acting like thousands of virtual tattoos.  These images are inputted into a software program that monitors your positioning with sub-millimeter accuracy and ensures you are in the correct position.

DIBH + AlignRT® – A New Standard of Care for Left-breast Cancer

For left-breast cancer patients, one technique used to reduce or eliminate radiation damage to the heart is a technique called Deep Inspiration Breath Hold (DIBH).  When you take a deep breath, the heart moves away from the breast, creating more space between the two and helping to prevent radiation exposure to your heart.  DIBH + AlignRT help to make sure you are breathing in just the right amount of air during treatment.

Help Reduce Your Side Effects

During your treatment, if you lose your breath or move out of the desired position, AlignRT will automatically pause the radiation beam or alert your therapist immediately who will help to reposition you. AlignRT® will help protect your heart and healthy tissue.

When putting your cancer treatment plan together with your physician, be sure to include DIBH + AlignRT®.
