Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT)

Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT) is a technique used in cancer treatment that uses advanced imaging technologies during radiation sessions to precisely target tumors. Before each treatment, detailed images are taken to ensure the radiation beams are accurately aligned with the tumor’s exact location. This enables doctors to deliver higher radiation doses directly to the cancer while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissue. IGRT improves the accuracy and effectiveness of radiation therapy, reducing side effects and increasing the likelihood of successful treatment outcomes.
