State of the Art Technology
The Varian 21EX and Trilogy linear accelerators
Centra has invested in the world's most powerful medical linear accelerators: the Varian 21EX and Trilogy. Both can target and penetrate tumors more efficiently than other technologies while protecting healthy tissue. The linear accelerators enable clinicians to perform computer-driven intensity modulated radiation therapy treatments and deliver higher doses of radiation with minimal harm to surrounding organs.The da Vinci Surgical System for prostate cancer
Centra's da Vinci surgical system provides surgeons with an alternative to traditional prostatectomy. The da Vinci system integrates three-dimensional, high-definition laparoscopy and state-of-the-art robotic technology to virtually extend the surgeon's eyes and hands into the surgical field. The system provides surgeons greater than twice the viewing resolution and 20 percent more viewing area, and allows them to perform a more exact operation. For the patient, this typically results in less pain, blood loss and scarring and reduces the risk of impotence and urinary incontinence. Patients have reduced complications, shorter hospital stays and faster recovery time.
