Radiation Therapy Equipment for Veterinarians
Therapy Remarketing Group is a proud equipment provider to the veterinary community to help keep pets happy and healthy. A growing number of veterinary facilities have added linear accelerators, superficial systems, CT’s and other radiation therapy equipment as an important component of a multimodality approach to treating cancer in animals.
TRG is committed to providing cost effective, current technology, to the veterinary community as this field continues to expand. In addition to providing affordable solutions to universities and treatment facilities alike, TRG understands the unique requirements that veterinarians require compared to traditional oncology centers when looking at equipment options.
Veterinary radiation oncology became a recognized specialty in 1994. It is important to understand the many aspects of radiation, including the equipment used in external beam radiation therapy to determine which solution will best meet your facility and client needs. Radiation therapy can be used in combination with surgery and/or chemotherapy to provide permanent control or elimination of a tumor. Even if the tumor cannot be destroyed, at least shrinking the tumor may improve the quality of life of the animal by reducing pressure, bleeding, or pain.
The primary delivery system for radiation therapy is the linear accelerator. TRG provides a large selection of linear accelerators to choose from to best meet your facility needs. We also provide other radiation oncology equipment including superficial systems that can be used in many animal cancer cases. Lymphoma in both cats and dogs responds well to this type of radiation therapy.
Additionally, Oral tumors and tumors within the nasal cavity can be treated with radiation therapy. Brain tumors have been successfully treated, as have small skin tumors, including some mast cell tumors and squamous cell carcinomas. The Topex STR-100 superficial system works well for these types of cancers and can be easily installed and implemented at your facility. The depth dose treatment capability of a centimeter from the SRT-100 provides the ability to handle up to 50-60% of small animal cancers that are normally referred to vet oncology treatment centers. There are currently two SRT 100 systems in operation at luminary sites in Norwalk, Connecticut and Ventura, California. These facilities are instrumental in the development for veterinary treatment standards and expanded applications of the system.
