IMRT (Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy)

Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) is an advanced form of cancer treatment that uses precise computer-controlled radiation beams to target tumors. Unlike traditional radiation, which delivers uniform doses, IMRT adjusts the intensity of each beam segment to conform closely to the tumor’s shape, minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. This allows for higher radiation doses directly to the cancer while reducing side effects. IMRT is often used for complex or hard-to-reach tumors, improving treatment effectiveness and patient quality of life by delivering tailored, precise radiation doses.
