We will soon begin repaving the main driveway outside the Yawkey, Menino, and Moakley buildings. Weather permitting, driveway closures are scheduled for the following weekends, from Friday at 8 p.m. through Sunday at 8 p.m., on the following dates: Sept. 19-21, Sept. 26-28, Oct. 17-19, and Oct. 24-26. 

Access Changes During Construction:

Pedestrian Access: Patients and visitors will be able to enter Moakley through the entrance on East Concord Street.    

Vehicle Access: Vehicular traffic should use the designated drop-off and pick-up area on East Concord Street or the 710 Albany Street Garage. Signage will indicate where metered parking has been blocked off to create a drop-off/pick-up zone (on E. Concord between Harrison and the Moakley side entrance).

Image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) is used together with three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy, intensity-modulated radiation therapy, and CyberKnife radiosurgery to improve the accuracy of each daily radiation treatment. In modern radiation therapy, accurate placement and shaping of the radiation beams is essential. IGRT uses special imaging technology, such as x-rays and cone beam CT (a compact, faster version of a regular CT that is attached to the linear accelerator and uses a cone-shaped x-ray beam), to take x-ray images before treatment to ensure the most accurate setup prior to treatment delivery. The radiation oncologist uses these images to adjust for daily changes in patient position and, in some cases, the normal shifting of organs within the body. Most patients benefit from this technology every day they receive treatment.
