Ultrasound-guided target localization has brought new levels of accuracy to the treatment process. This painless, non-invasive technology pinpoints the precise position of a tumor right at the time of treatment. The Maddock Center was first in Rhode Island to install this system, which is invaluable for the treatment of breast, prostate and other cancers below the head.

This advanced, high-precision method gives a real-time 3-D reconstruction of the target location, enabling our radiation oncologists to position your body in such a way that treatment is delivered exactly to the isocenter of the tumor.

Ultrasound-guided target localization is compatible with various treatment planning systems.
