NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. (CNS)—Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian has acquired new technology to give physicians a real-time view of tumors during radiation treatment, one of the first in the nation with the treatment, officials said Dec. 7.
The ViewRay MRIdian can give physicians a view of tumors in difficult spots to target such as the pancreas, lungs, and other soft tissue, hospital officials said. The better view of the tumors during radiation treatment will help doctors better target the tumors.
