Tattoo-Free Positioning
Our precision imaging and optical tracking allow for accurate patient alignment without the need for traditional ink tattoos, increasing comfort and preserving natural appearance.
What is Tattoo-Free Radiation Alignment?
Traditionally, small permanent skin tattoos have been used to help align patients for radiation therapy sessions. While effective, these ink marks can serve as lasting visual reminders of treatment—something many patients prefer to avoid.
At Radiant Cancer Care, we offer tattoo-free positioning, using advanced imaging and optical tracking systems to ensure precise treatment alignment without permanent marks on the skin.
How It Works
Surface-Guided Technology
Our system uses real-time surface mapping and optical guidance to monitor your position with sub-millimeter accuracy. This ensures you are consistently aligned with the treatment plan without the need for inked reference points.
Daily Imaging for Accuracy
CT, MRI, or onboard imaging techniques are integrated to verify internal anatomy and adjust positioning dynamically, further enhancing precision.
Benefits of Tattoo-Free Setup

Other Services We Offer
Interested in exploring other precision-focused radiation therapies?
Intensity‑Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT)
Advanced radiation treatment designed to target tumors with precision while protecting healthy tissue.
Surface-Guided Radiation Therapy (SGRT)
Uses 3D camera systems to monitor patient surface motion in real-time. SGRT enhances accuracy and safety by automatically pausing treatment if movement exceeds designated thresholds.
Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT)
Utilizes advanced imaging (e.g., CT, MRI, PET) before and during treatment to ensure radiation targets the exact tumor location, reducing margins and improving accuracy.
