Philips Big Bore 4D-CT

This new radiation oncology planning machine is now the largest bore CT in New Mexico. At 85cm with a weight limit of 600 pounds, this state of the art machine allows physicians to image patients who are required to hold their arms above their head for treatment planning of breast and lung cancer. The 4D component gives physicians the ability to image tumors that move with the patient’s breathing, so that they can see the tumor’s location at any point in time, allowing for more precise treatment planning. The result is significantly less toxicity.
