In recent years the CTRC has seen an increase in the number of patients needing radiation treatment, which has had a significant effect on its computer storage strategy.

The CTRC maintains 8 radiation treatment vaults that provide radiation therapy for an average of 200 patients per day on 4-week cycles. For each patient, the CTRC estimates that Radiation Oncology builds about a 100-megabit treatment plan based on the MRIs, CTs, and PETs that are stored on the servers.
