City of Hope is a leader in image - driven
radiation planning, using
advanced imaging technologies — such as computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography scans — to determine tumor size and location and «sculpt»
radiation delivery to the cancerous areas.
With
advanced treatment - planning software and a board - certified
radiation oncologist, our cancer patients benefit from customized treatment plans and sub-millimeter precision that enable the
delivery of high - dose
radiation directly to the tumor with minimum
radiation exposure to the surrounding healthy anatomy.
