TREATMENT DETAILS
Figure 2. Left panel shows an axial view of the treatment plan developed using the MultiPlan® System. The 80% prescription isodose line is shown in green. Note high conformality and sparing of critical structures. The right panel shows a 3-D rendering of treatment beams as selected by the optimization algorithm.

CYBERKNIFE CENTER AT COMMUNITY REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTERThe CyberKnife Center at Community Regional Medical Center in Fresno, California entered clinical service in the fall of 2005. Community’s cancer program is one of the few in California with teaching-hospital level accreditation from the American College of Surgeons (ACOS) Commission on Cancer. At Community Regional in downtown Fresno we operate the only combined burn and Level 1 trauma center between Sacramento to Los Angeles, the only high-risk pregnancy unit in the region, and the state’s largest and second busiest emergency department.
