Utah Valley Regional Medical Center (UVRMC) announced today it will be the first facility in Utah to offer BAT ultrasound-based targeting target-ing technology that pinpoints a tumor's exact location, prior to the delivery of radiation therapy. This technology allows doctors to effectively deliver radiation to the target area, minimizing harm to surrounding sur-rounding organs. UVRMC joins a list of more than 150 facilities nationwide, which are using BAT in conjunction con-junction with radiation therapy thera-py to treat cancer in areas such as the prostate, breast, head and neck, bladder, and pancreas. For example, studies show the prostate moves from day to day. In the past, these daily uncertainties in position have forced physicians to include large margins in the radiation field to ensure complete tumor coverage. These margins have been associated with correspondingly corre-spondingly high rates of complications. com-plications. BAT addresses these issues by allowing physicians to pinpoint pin-point target locations on a treatment by treatment basis. Real-time ultrasound images combined with reconstructed computed tomography (CT) image data, allow physicians at UVRMC to identify misalignments mis-alignments and adjust the patient's position to compensate compen-sate for organ movement. "As a department we have always tried to ensure that the radiation being delivered is directed to the tumor and not to surrounding healthy tissue. With BAT, we are thrilled to now be able to do this with more exactness than ever." said Craig Neilsen, Radiation Oncology manager at UVRMC. BAT allows physicians to track tumor location and position posi-tion in the patient to precisely align the tumor with the treatment treat-ment plan. This process radically radi-cally reduces target uncertainty uncertain-ty from the industry standard of two cm to mm. Some of the other benefits include: Daily verification of target organ position supports safer dose escalation and decreafcs ; complications. " 7 I Ultrasound technology poses no risk to patients. Results available in approximately three minutes. The radiation Oncology team at UVRMC will be trained on the BAT the first week of October and will begin using it on patients the following follow-ing week.
