First to Offer Trilogy!
-
The power of Trilogy yields treatment times that are shorter, making the experience more comfortable.
-
The precision of Trilogy spares healthy tissues to an extent that was unimaginable only a few years ago.
More Accurate Radiation Treatments in Less Time
That’s what Northridge Hospital Medical Center offers patients at the Thomas & Dorothy Leavey Cancer Center -- the first in the region to offer the powerful Trilogy Linear Accelerator Stereotactic System.
The Trilogy offers stereotactic radiosurgery, image guided radiation therapy (IGRT) and intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) 60% faster than traditional linear accelerators. With pinpoint accuracy, radiation beams match the three-dimensional shape of the tumor and spares healthy tissue.
This results in fewer side effects and saves time. Instead of 20-30 minutes, some patients may be treated in three to five minutes. Trilogy is the latest addition to our award-winning Cancer Center, which is soaring to new heights.

Trilogy Linear Accelerator
Even in the highly specialized world of radiation, the Trilogy linear accelerator stands out. It offers an enhanced cancer treatment option.
Flexibility -- Our team of experienced medical professionals customize treatment to target many different types of cancers, in many different locations.
Accuracy -- Radiation beams match the three-dimensional shape of the tumor with a high degree of accuracy. It also can treat smaller lesions, which allows for treatment at earlier stages when cancer is most curable.
Precision -- IGRT and On-board Imager (OBI) help medical professionals synchronize treatment with the patient’s breathing cycles. This helps to target tumors more precisely, while sparing healthy tissue.
Speed -- The Trilogy delivers radiation at a rate that is 60% faster than traditional linear accelerators, which enhances the patient’s comfort.
Power -- The highest dose rates can be delivered, so treatments take less time and fewer treatment sessions are needed.
Fewer side effects -- Because of the precision of the radiation, healthy tissue is spared, which results in fewer side effects.
