    Innovation & Technology

    The General's Pennington Cancer Center has a rich history of bringing advanced cancer treatment solutions to South Louisiana and that legacy is no doubt continuing. With endowments from the Pennington family, support of the local community and a unique partnership with Siemens Healthcare, Pennington Cancer Center is the first and only center in the U.S. with ARTISTE - the next-generation technology for radiation therapy.

    Approved by the FDA in January 2008, ARTISTE is the only technology that integrates all of the latest image-guidance solutions with high-precision radiotherapy in a real-time setting, regardless of the complexity of the case.
