Samsung NeuroLogica BodyTom CT Simulator

Willis Knighton Cancer Center’s radiation oncology department incorporates Samsung NeuroLogica’s BodyTom imaging into clinical workflows that serve our radiotherapy patients daily, particularly those undergoing brachytherapy procedures.

BodyTom is the world’s first portable, full-body, 32-slice computed tomography (CT) scanner. Using BodyTom eliminates many of the challenges associated with moving patients, including the risk of displacing brachytherapy applicators, while also decreasing overall procedure time. Based on observations, adding this imaging technology to our brachytherapy suite has reduced treatment times by 20 to 30 minutes per patient. Improvements are vital to maintaining our status as one of the country’s leading brachytherapy practices and our fundamental values at Willis Knighton:

• Increased efficiency
• Increased patient comfort and safety
• Enhanced accuracy
• Decreased patient risk
