Hibachi to Treatment: Converting a Texas Restaurant into a World-Class Radiation Oncology Center

Imagine your long-standing, local Japanese eatery is suddenly transformed into a state-of-the-art oncology treatment center? This is exactly what happened in the heart of Corpus Christi, TX.

Proyecto reciente: La mudanza sin costo de un acelerador lineal

Cuando usted es un paciente oncológico sometiendose a terapia de radiación, el compromiso es diario. Usted debe presentarse a la terapia casi a diario durante semanas enteras, sin interrupción alguna.

Radiation Oncology Teaching Hospital Solution

The old adage you learn something new every day is true. Even when you’ve provided linear accelerators (linacs) and CT scanners to facilities around the world for years, you can still encounter a customer needing a unique solution. Radiology Oncology Systems (ROS) of San Diego recently completed one such project: a teaching hospital in Brooklyn had a very specific need within a specific budget and timeframe. New York Methodist Hospital’s Center for Allied Health Education, a radiation oncology teaching hospital, reached out to ROS about acquiring a patient-positioning system for use in training their students.
