Am glad to read about your experience with ViewRay's MRIdian SBRT. I am considering using this 5 treatment option as well. My understanding is it combines a high tech MRI with proton radiation. However, jackm9005 just replied to me saying "I recently had my consultation and was told that protons are not delivered using the Mridian ViewRay, only photons. Has something to do with the magnets in the MRI and protons." So, what did you receive protons or photons? The clear definition I found was "The key difference between the two in terms of radiation therapy: Like an x-ray, photon beams will pass through the body and have an exit point, whereas protons can be stopped in tissue without a significant amount exiting the body." Who wants to have an exit dose of photons passing right thru the prostate and beyond? Hopefully you will tell me you had protons.
What did they use to map you, an MRI scan, a CT scan or a PET scan?
If I have two GL 3+3 and a GL 3+4 do you think all three could be zapped in 5 treatments?
