Gibson Cancer Center

expands radiation treatment

with positioning technology

UNC Health Southeastern’s Gibson Cancer Center in Lumberton, NC, has added
state-of-the-art technology from C-RAD to enable safer radiation treatment
to more cancer patients and improve their quality of life.

Gibson Cancer Center’s two Elekta Versa HD
stereotactic linear accelerators are now both
equipped with a C-RAD Catalyst HD system
for Surface Guided Radiation Therapy (SGRT)
which uses high-speed 3D cameras, combined
with augmented reality, to help deliver more
precise treatment to the affected area while
reducing irradiation to healthy tissue. The
technology gives providers the ability to
offer advanced radiation therapy treatment
techniques that are not only reliable and
accurate, but also very safe. The additional
benefit to our patients is there is no need for
tattoos or markers.

“The C-RAD system was selected to provide
new radiation treatment technology with the
highest level of accuracy and safety possible,”
said Lori Dove, UNC Health Southeastern Vice Elekta Versa HD stereotactic linear accelerator equipped with a C-RAD Catalyst HD system
President and Chief Administrative Officer.
“This way, we know we’re offering the best
quality care possible for our patients. We Location Phone
also valued this solution due to the seamless Gibson Cancer Center (910) 671-5730
integration between C-RAD and the Elekta 1200 Pine Run Drive
equipment on site.” Lumberton, NC
