CT Sim

CT Simulation Technology

The CT Simulator is the one piece of equipment that has the greatest impact on every cancer patient undergoing radiation treatment at the QEII. Without it, radiation can’t happen.

Each year, 7,000 Nova Scotians are diagnosed with cancer. Nearly half will need radiation treatment. Donors, like you, can help each of these cancer patients and their families.

Improved patient outcomes

New CT Simulation Technology for Personalized Cancer Treatment

Every patient is unique. Every tumour is unique. The CT Simulator is a machine with sophisticated imaging technology that helps a patient’s cancer care team pinpoint the exact location and shape of their tumour. Helping radiation oncologists determine the most effective radiation treatment plan possible for patients.

Today, the QEII has one CT Simulator. By purchasing a second CT Simulator and replacing the current outdated model, the QEII can immediately increase capacity to see more patients each day, while decreasing wait times and delays. When it comes to cancer, timing is everything.

Watch our video and hear from QEII cancer experts on how you can immediately support every cancer patient receiving radiation at the QEII.

Support CT simulation today and help bring personalized, world-leading cancer care to the QEII for every patient who needs it.

A word from Dr. Amanda Caissie

By making a gift today, you are supporting the one piece of equipment that has the greatest impact on cancer patients undergoing radiation treatment at the QEII. Your generosity will help approximately 3,000 patients each year – every patient walking into our radiotherapy centre.

Making Life-Saving Treatment Possible

Technology is ever-changing and the CT Simulator is no different. With better technology comes better treatment. Adding new state-of-the-art CT simulation technology means improved outcomes and higher cure rates for cancer patients.

Here’s what you can make possible by supporting CT simulation technology:

SIGNIFICANTLY DECREASE WAIT TIMES — allowing patients to begin their radiation treatments on time and without delays
