Rapid for Stroke
TM
Time is critical when you have a stroke. The sooner you get medical attention,
the more treatment options you have.
Rapid is a technology that processes CT scans to quickly give the doctor
information about blood flow in the brain. Rapid identifies the damaged area
of the brain and which part is still healthy and viable.
This detailed information opens the treatment window from six hours to
24 hours, which improves your chances of a full recovery.
You’re in the
Right Hands
A radiosurgery expert and
member of the neurooncology
team, Dr. Xu uses
Gamma Knife® to treat
brain tumors. A completely
non-invasive therapy, this
technique locates the tumor,
through computer imaging
systems, and focuses 192
beams of radiation precisely
on the tumor. Treatments take
several hours, but patients
can return to their daily
routine — and even work —
the same day.
