Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology opened St Louis’ first 3-D cancer treatment planning center
In 1991, the Radiation Oncology Center opened the St. Louis area’s first 3-D treatment planning center, using a CT scanner equipped with a laser-marking system and connected to a computer that targeted hard-to-treat cancer sites.
Radiation oncology physicists, led by James Purdy, PhD, developed a 3-D treatment planning system for cancer.
