About North American Scientific North American Scientific, Inc. is a leading supplier of planning and delivery technology for intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT IMRT Intensity-modulated radiation therapy Radiation oncology A format for delivering high-dose RT to regions–eg, nasopharynx, that are surrounded by radiation-sensitive areas; in IMRT, a broad radiation field is divided into hundreds of small pencil beams, ), through its NOMOS NOMOS Knowledge Acquisition for Normative Reasoning System Radiation Oncology radiation oncology n. The branch of radiology that deals with the use of ionizing radiation to treat cancers. radiation oncology Division (NOMOS). NOMOS' Non-Invasive Scalpel scalpel /scal·pel/ (skal´p'l) a small surgical knife usually having a convex edge. scal·pel n. A small straight knife with a thin sharp blade used in surgery and dissection. (TM) IMRT allows an escalated radiation dose to be delivered to a tumor while limiting exposure and damage to nearby healthy tissue.

It includes the translation of menus and messages into the native spoken language as well as changes in the user interface to accommodate different alphabets and culture. See internationalization and l10n. system that accurately defines a tumor target prior to treatment, and PEREGRINE(R), the first commercially available photon dose calculation system to incorporate state-of-the-art Monte Carlo radiation transport techniques to more accurately predict the radiation dose delivered to tumors and other structures within a patient's body "before" radiation treatment is delivered. North American Scientific is also a leader in the field of brachytherapy and was the first manufacturer of the two most commonly used FDA-approved isotopes for the treatment of prostate cancer, Iodine 125 and Palladium 103. Brachytherapy involves the implanting of low dose radioactive seeds in or near a tumor target. It can be used to treat a variety of cancers, but is most prevalent in the treatment of prostate cancer. Clinical studies have shown survival rates for brachytherapy patients are similar to those of patients who undergo surgical removal of the prostate; however, there is a significant reduction in the incidence of side effects such as impotence and incontinence. |
