MMH adds advanced radiation therapy

margaret_maryBATESVILLE, Ind. — Margaret Mary Health has installed new technology that will bring patients of the cancer center advanced radiation therapy.

According to officials, the recently installed Varian TrueBeam linear accelerator provides higher accuracy and greater beam intensity to destroy cancer cells.

It is designed to deliver the lowest dose of radiation possible to surrounding healthy tissue while allowing for better, more accurate treatment of the patient’s tumor.

In 2005, Margaret Mary’s Cancer Center opened on Six Pine Ranch Road in Batesville to bring together all cancer treatment services under one roof.
