PATIENT EventsPhysicians’ Clinic of Iowa Medical Pavilion Expands for Radiation Therapy Center
Physicians’ Clinic of Iowa Medical Pavilion will expand its facility with a 10,000 square foot addition to house the Albert G. and Helen Nassif Radiation Center set to open in Fall 2015.
The Radiation Center—a service of UnityPoint St. Luke’s Hospital—will be strategically located near the 3rd Avenue entrance to PCI Medical Pavilion. The center’s placement will put the following services within close proximity to one another, making it easy for cancer patients to access everything at a single facility:
• Doctor’s appointments with Physicians’ Clinic of Iowa oncologists and surgeons• Accredited laboratory services• Accredited imaging center including MRI and CT• Chemotherapy infusion center at Physicians’ Clinic of Iowa–Hematology & Oncology• External beam radiation therapy at the Albert G. and Helen Nassif Radiation Center• Support services at the Helen G. Nassif Community Cancer Center of Iowa (a partnership
of more than 200 doctors including Physicians’ Clinic of Iowa and St. Luke’s Hospital)
As a freestanding office-based facility, Physicians’ Clinic of Iowa Medical Pavilion offers a variety of testing and treatment options at a lower out-of-pocket cost than the same services found in a hospital-based setting. Radiation therapy at the new Radiation Center will be an example of this type of cost savings to patients (expected to range from 20 to 50 percent,according to St. Luke’s.) Chemotherapy, laboratory testing, and imaging exams are existing examples of services that frequently cost patients less at PCI Medical Pavilion than other area facilities.

Sandeep Munjal, MD, FAAOS, orthopaedic surgeon at Physicians’ Clinic of Iowa, is pleased to offer a new, CT-free, robotic-assisted partial knee replacement surgery using the Navio™ Smart Orthopaedic Surgical System.
The Navio™ orthopedic surgical system helps Dr. Munjal perform precise and accurate partial knee replacement surgeries. The new robotic device is currently available at UnityPoint St. Luke’s Hospital in Cedar Rapids.
Robotic Knee Replacement Surgery
“Potential benefits to the patient are numerous. It makes partial knee replacement a more accessible option—with typically smaller incisions, less scaring, and a quicker recovery.”- Sandeep Munjal, MD, FAAOS
Navio™ Surgical System Overview:• Designed to enable bone cutting
through small incisions
• System is comprised of a navigation system and software package, surgeon-controlled touchscreen interface and hand-held robotic instrument
• Computer-control enforces precision onto the surgeon’s movements for accurate bone preparation for implants
• Image-free registration and planning software means the patient does not have to get a pre-operative CT scan, the surgeon maps the patient’s anatomy and creates a custom plan for their knee
• Benefits of using the Navio™ technology over traditional manual partial knee replacement technique include:
- Greater surgical precision, fewer implant alignment outliers
- Accurate balancing of soft-tissue throughout the full range-of-motion
- An ability to picture what the x-rays will look like before making a single cut
- Achieving the final bone preparation with limited intra-operative adjustments
- Complete control of the surgical procedure without having to rely on a company representative to run the equipment
Potential Patient Benefits:What can Navio™ mean for patients?
• Consistent results
• Accurately placed implants
• Customized planning
• No CT radiation required
Benefits of partial knee over total knee replacement?
• Less pain
• Quicker recovery
• Lower risk of complications
• Smaller incisions
• Less blood loss
• Retain healthy ligaments
• Shorter hospital stay
None of these benefits can be guaranteed, as surgery can be both patient and procedure specific.

Relax in a Convenient and Affordable Setting
The Imaging Center at Physicians’ Clinic of Iowa Medical Pavilion includes board certified radiology technologists who are committed to answering patient questions and easing
anxiety. In addition, we partner with local radiologists to provide accurate and timely
imaging reports.
We understand that imaging tests can be stressful. That’s why our staff puts an extra emphasis on making patients feel comfortable and at ease. In fact, we are known for helping patients get through difficult imaging tests that may have been unsuccessful elsewhere.
Cost-Effective Outpatient Testing
In many cases, in-office imaging services at PCI are less expensive for our patients than other imaging locations. Office-based billing allows for cost-effective testing and on-site
diagnostic procedures.

Physicians’ Clinic of Iowa has been awarded accreditation in both computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging as the result of a recent review by the American College of Radiology (ACR). We are also accredited in CT in the areas of Sinus and Temporal Bone CT by the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission (IAC).
