What is Radiation Therapy ?
What is Chemotherapy?
 
 
OUR TECHNOLOGIES

At Adams County Cancer Center, we offer the newest, most up-to-date equipment, to meet your cancer care needs.

Adams County Cancer Center is the first cancer treatment center in Adams County, Ohio to offer the latest treatment techniques currently available, such as:

- 3-D conformal radiation therapy
- Cone beam CT localization
- Electronic Portal Imaging
- Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT)
- Image Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT)
 
GE™  CT simulator
We have on-site CT simulation, which enables our board-certified radiation oncologist to precisely distinguish the cancerous area. CT simulation allows us to provide optimal accuracy in delineating the tumor site. This technology also allows the radiation oncologist to design each patient’s treatment plan specific to the shape of their body and internal structures.
 
Pinnacle™ Treatment Planning System
   
Our highly skilled therapists and dosimetrist will accurately plan and deliver the most appropriate radiation treatment based on your individual case.
At ACCC, we use a very advanced treatment planning system, called Pinnacle. Pinnacle allows us to precisely spare normal structures while still giving adequate dose to the cancerous tissues.

 
 
Elekta Synergy™ Linear Accelerator
Radiation treatments are delivered by a sophisticated machine called a linear accelerator. At ACCC, we use an Elekta Synergy machine which is capable of delivering IMRT (intensity modulated radiation therapy) and performing cone beam CT scans.
IMRT is a radiation technique which allows us to precisely conform the radiation dose to the desired tumor area while sparing surrounding normal structures. Cone beam CT allows us to use real-time imaging to ensure that that the radiation treatment fields are precisely matching what was planned. This NEW technology is NOT currently offered at any other facility within a 100 mile radius. Our modern LINAC has " TRIPLE ENERGY PHOTONS " (6 mvp,10 mvp and 18 mvp ) which helps our radiation oncologist to do complex technique IMRT in any girth of patients.
 
Impac Mosaiq™ -Electronic Medical Record
All of our patient’s medical information is stored in our electronic medical record system called Mosaiq. This system allows all of our staff to efficiently access your information via a center-wide computer system. Mosaiq allows easy integration of each patient’s diagnosis, history, nursing assessments, treatment films, scheduling, and laboratory results. Mosaiq is also the record and verify system fully integrated with the linear accelerator that allows for radiation treatment delivery to be captured immediately at the time of delivery.
