The practice, part of The US Oncology Network, is comprised of five radiation oncology centers located in north Georgia - four in the Atlanta metro area. All facilities use Eclipse AAA(v16.1) for treatment planning, with the four metro Atlanta sites on ARIA and one site on Mosaiq. We currently have 8 linacs: including 1 TrueBeam, 1 Halcyon (just installed), 2 EX , 2 iX, 1 Versa, 1 Infinity, and 2 TrueBeams coming next year to replace older linacs. We utilize Varian GammaMed HDR afterloaders and GE CTs. We have a full array of QA systems and tools including a IBA Blue Phantom II, MapCheck, Daily QA3s, IC Profilers and Mobius 3D and ClearCheck for second checks. We use Mobius FX for IMRT/VMAT QA.

The practice has active HDR, SBRT and SRS programs at all locations and also has one of the largest prostate seed implant programs in the southeast.

Atlanta is one of the nation's fastest growing metro areas. The city features award-winning restaurants, iconic locales that rival any across the country - including the Tony Award-winning Alliance Theatre, the CNN Center and the Western hemisphere's largest indoor aquarium.
