Central to the institute’s advanced treatment capabilities is the Elekta Unity MRI Linear Accelerator (Linac) - the first in Kansas City. This revolutionary technology combines MRI-Guided Radiation Therapy with a state-of-the-art linear accelerator, making it exceptionally effective for treating elusive soft tissue cancers and tumors located in the chest or abdomen. Its integration marks a significant leap in radiotherapy, marrying advanced MR imaging with cutting-edge linear acceleration within an architectural design that doesn’t compromise patient comfort or accessibility.

The intuitive layout promotes easy navigation, ensuring operations within the center run smoothly and enhancing the overall patient and caregiver experience. Meanwhile, the infrastructure has been optimized for future expansion.
