Our Approach to Radiation Therapy

Our radiation oncology team is made up of board-certified radiation oncologists, registered radiation therapists, dosimetrists and nationally certified oncology nurses. We also have board-certified medical physicists on-site to supervise treatment safety and accuracy. Our physicists perform continuous equipment tests to assure the highest quality radiation treatments possible.

Types of Radiation Therapy

Image-Guided Radiation Technology

Image-guided radiation technology (IGRT) improves the accuracy of radiation therapy. During planning and treatment, computed tomography is used to take 3D images. Comparing these images allows our team to determine the latest organ position and to adjust the radiation field during treatment.

Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy

Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is a high-precision radiation targeting system that enables our team to deliver radiation to a tumor in three dimensions with a single powerful beam composed of hundreds of smaller beams. The smaller beams bypass healthy tissue, avoiding damage, until they meet in a single powerful beam that eradicates the tumor.

Stereotactic Radiosurgery and Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy

Despite their names, stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) are non-surgical procedures that deliver precisely targeted radiation at much higher doses in only a single or few treatments, as compared to traditional radiation therapy. SBRT is used for body treatments and SRS is used for brain treatments. These treatments are only possible due to the development of highly advanced radiation technologies that permit maximum dose delivery within the target while minimizing dose to the surrounding healthy tissue.

Radiation therapy treatments at Inspira also include:

  • Radiation Consultation Services
  • External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT)
  • High Dose Radiation (HDR)
  • Radioactive Prostate Seed Implants
  • Radiopharmaceutical Therapy
  • Thyroid Ablation
  • Palliative Radiation
  • Lifetime Patient Follow-Up

Radiation Therapy Team Helped Patient feel ‘Safe and Taken Care Of’ During Daily Treatments

"As soon as you walk in the door they give you a new mask. They take your temperature, ask you a series of questions…every single time, every single day. Then as I walked down to the Radiation Oncology Department there was a hand sanitizer dispenser; I just waved my hand under it. The doors were already open so I didn't have to touch them. And I was the only one in the waiting room."
