Intensity modulated treatment delivery, single or multiple fields/arcs,via narrow spatially and temporally modulated beams, binary, dynamic mlc, per treatment session

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.

New patient office or other outpatient visit, 45-59 minutes

This is a first-time office or outpatient visit lasting between 45-59 minutes. The healthcare provider evaluates your health, discusses your medical history, and may suggest further tests or treatments. It's an opportunity to ask questions and understand your health better.

This service was performed 19 times for 19 patients

Obtaining data needed to develop the optimal radiation treatment, 3 or more treatment areas or any number of treatment areas where special treatment is involved

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 service was performed 17 times for 15 patients

Radiation treatment delivery,3 or more separate treatment areas, custom blocking, tangential ports, wedges, rotational beam, compensators, electron beam; 6-10 mev

Radiation therapy involves directing high-energy particles to destroy cancer cells. The technique targets 3 or more areas, using custom blocks for precise focus. Tangential ports, wedges, and rotational beams adjust the radiation's path, while compensators balance radiation dose. Electron beam therapy with 6-10 mev energy is used for deep-seated tumors.

This service was performed 309 times for 16 patients
