Dose planning is the process used in radiation therapy to determine the precise amount and location of radiation to target a tumor effectively while minimizing exposure to healthy tissues. Using advanced imaging and patient data, specialists create a customized treatment plan that balances eliminating cancer cells with preserving normal function. This involves calculating the optimal radiation doses and their angles, ensuring the therapy is both safe and effective. Accurate dose planning is essential for maximizing the chances of recovery and reducing side effects.
