Radiation Treatment Technologies Unduplicated in the Region
The team of physicians at Northeast Radiation Oncology Centers (NROC) offers the most comprehensive, advanced radiation therapy technologies available in Northeastern Pennsylvania. Doctors at NROC carefully advise patients about which type of radiation therapy is most effective for their type and stage of cancer.

TrueBeam® Radiotherapy System
TrueBeam® technology is engineered to deliver powerful cancer treatments with pinpoint accuracy and precision. It integrates imaging and motion management technologies that make it possible to deliver treatments quickly while monitoring and compensating for tumor motion.
How does the Varian TrueBeam® System work?
Faster Treatments
- The TrueBeam® system incorporates “intelligent” automation that helps reduce treatment time.
Enhanced Precision
- Targets tumors with tremendous precision made possible by the system’s sophisticated architecture, which synchronizes imaging, beam shaping and dose delivery.
- Performs accuracy checks every ten milliseconds throughout the entire treatment.
- Critical data points are measured continually as treatment progresses, ensuring that the system maintains a “true isocenter,” or focal point of treatment.
Faster Imaging at Lower Doses
- TrueBeam® imaging technology can produce three-dimensional images used to fine-tune tumor targeting very quickly, using 25% less X-ray dose when compared with earlier generations of technology.
