3DCRT - Three-Dimensional Conformal Radiation Therapy

Scott & White has been offering three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3DCRT) services to their patients since 1995.

Through the years, Scott & White has continued to upgrade their three-dimensional treatment planning and treatment delivery to the most recent technology available.

A dedicated computerized tomography (CT) scanner in the radiation oncology division acquires image data sets for 3DCRT treatment planning. These data sets are augmented by contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) images acquired in the radiology department.

Three medical linear accelerators (Varian Oncology Systems) in Temple and Killeen are equipped with multi-leaf collimators (MLC) and computer-controlled treatment sequencing systems.

Scott & White offers a comprehensive array of 3DCRT procedures such as:

• Contrast-enhanced CT scans of the head and neck, chest, abdomen and pelvis
• Conformal therapy of the brain and spine
• Conformal therapy for lung cancer
• Conformal therapy for breast cancer
• Conformal therapy for tumors in the male and female pelvis
• Conformal therapy for pediatric patients
