Memorial Sloan Kettering does have the Elekta unity which is a radiation machine that has a built in mri vs all other radiation machines that use fused images (except the Mridian). This means less toxicity and side effects. What the doctor can see he can treat. I was treated with the Mridian but the Elekta Unity has similar features. You might want to request the machine vs others that may be suggested to you.

Thanks for your input....I'm headed to MSK in early April for an appt with Dr. Ehdaie. Is the Elekta Unity an SBRT or is it a focal treatment? I tend to get confused with radiation that appears to be treating certain areas vs the entire gland. Would be interested in your age, diagnosis and overall experience with MriDian treatment if you would be so kind to share?
