In our gantry rooms, our patients receive their individualized proton therapy treatments. Patients lie on the couch of the gantry treatment room in their custom-fit immobilization device that ensures precise positioning, a process guided by our highly-skilled radiation therapists. The nozzle of the gantry has the ability to rotate 360 degrees around the patient enabling doctors to target tumors in difficult regions of the body. <br /><br /> At HUPTI, we are equipped with the most sophisticated and advanced technology to date allowing us to administer proton therapy treatments at angles and precision unlike any other treatment modality.
