CMC's Neuroscience and Spine Institute houses revolutionary new technology comprising four state-of-the-art radiosurgery and radiotherapy applications in a single integrated system. Unlike those that are "pieced" together over time, this four-in-one system has the advantage of producing the highest degree of accuracy in treatment planning and delivery for the management of a wide array of cancers as well as targeted approaches for brain tumors, vascular malformations, and other neurologic disorders. In addition to the newest generation linear accelerator which delivers conventional external radiation, the Shaped Beam Surgery system includes:

• Cranial Stereotactic Radiosurgery - Also known as "knifeless" surgery, delivers radiation to tumors and vascular malformations in the brain without damaging normal structures;
• Extracranial or Body Radiosurgery - The newest application, expands the precision of stereotactic cranial radiosurgery to all areas of the body;
• Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) - Uses a dynamic conformal dose delivery technology to precisely tailor radiation treatments to even the most irregularly shaped lesions, thus allowing maximal dosing without damaging surrounding organs.
