State-of-the-art radiation therapy comes to St. Jude
Because of support from friends across our community, Providence St. Jude Medical Center has a new, state-of-the-art radiation system called AlignRT® in the hands of our radiation therapists and oncologists. The infrared technology uses 3D imaging to monitor patient motion to millimeter accuracy, in order to only radiate the tissue that needs treatment and protect the vital organs from getting any of the radiation dose.
