IMRT - Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy

Revolutionary Technology at Decatur Memorial Hospital precisely targets cancerous cells, to the exactness of a pencil-tip leaving surrounding healthy tissue untouched.

• IMRT - Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy - delivers targeted high doses of radiation that can mean for some patients a non-invasive alternative to surgery.
• IMRT allows treatment for what was previously untreatable.
• IMRT means fewer complications and side effects.

SmartBeam IMRT is being used to treat tumors in organs including the brain, breast, head and neck, liver, lung, nasopharynx, pancreas, prostate and uterus.
