Do you think you could provide a paragraph or whatever on MRIdian Viewray? Much appreciated if you can. I have to keep all options open, especially if my upcoming PSMA shows something that eliminates other options.

Bjroc: Dr Himanshu Nagar in NY city Weill Cornell NY Presbyterian has a good deal of experience with MRIdian viewray and prostates.
MRIdian viewray uses small margins of 2mm vs 4-6 for other types of radiation and so less healthy tissue is impacted. It also uses real time mapping adjustments, when needed.

MRIdian is the world’s first radiation therapy system to integrate a diagnostic-quality MRI with an advanced linear accelerator and the only system with MR-guided, real-time, 3D, multiplanar soft tissue tracking and automated beam control.
Do a Google search for Amar Kishan, MD., Associate Professor and Chief of the Genitourinary Oncology Service at UCLA as he has done clinical research on MRIdian View Ray SBRT therapy and several informative videos.
The link below is to the MRIdian View Ray website which has much more info, videos, locations, etc.

I am not a doctor and I am not giving medical advice but I am continuing my research to learn more. I really think MRIdian View Ray will be the best option with the least side effects for me. My goal now is to find the most prostate experienced MRIdian team with the best outcomes. I welcome additional comments.
