Trilogy
In
2006 Mount Sinai installed the state-of-the-art Trilogy™ system from Varian, the
most sophisticated machine of its type in existence. We are only hospital in
Miami-Dade or Broward counties to offer Trilogy. Trilogy delivers
Image Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT), intensity modulation radiotherapy (IMRT)
and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). It represents a major advance in the
radiation oncology, because it has the most accurate system of targeting a tumor
available, causing less damage to surrounding healthy tissue. The result?
Decreased side effects and less risk of complication. Part of what makes Trilogy
so unique is that it takes daily high resolution images of the size, shape and
position of each patient’s tumor – which can vary from day to day – and adjusts
the patient’s positioning accordingly, to ensure the greatest accuracy in
targeting the tumor. The Trilogy system can be used for the widest range of
external beam radiotherapy, including multiple types of radiosurgery. When used
for image-guided radiosurgery, Trilogy can treat tumors and small lesions in the
brain and other parts of the body quickly, with precisely targeted, powerful
beams.
