I was down at St. Jude this morning and asked one of the Physicist that we work with on a regular basis about this. His take is that it is an up and coming technology and they are very excited about it due to the fact that it does not do damage to the surrounding tissue. He added this is especially important in pediatric cases because the little one are still growing.

When they got their machine, they built the building back around it. It was too big and heavy to do anything else. Didn't get a chance to go see (it was on the other side of the campus) but have an open invitation to do so.

Very cool !
