Center for Advanced Radiotherapy

A vividly realistic Magnolia-filled sky engages patients undergoing radiotherapy treatment at El Camino Hospital’s Center for Advanced Radiotherapy in Mountain View, California. Featuring state-of-the-art Accuray CyberKnife robotic radiation technology, the Center is making important advances in cancer treatement, especially the treatment of brain tumors.

The 8′ x 10′ Luminous SkyCeiling is also an advanced technology, a biophilic element in the radiotherapy suite that can positively distract patients during treatment, as well as trigger the relaxation responses that illusions of nature have been shown to achieve in numerous studies. Creating an environment conducive to patient comfort and relaxation is rapidly being accepted as an important adjunct to the medical technologies employed in healthcare facilities.
