Radiation Treatment Planning

Radiation treatment planning is the process of designing a precise approach to target cancer cells with radiation while minimizing damage to healthy tissue. It involves imaging the tumor with techniques like CT or MRI scans, then using specialized software to determine the optimal radiation dose, angles, and techniques. The goal is to deliver enough radiation to destroy the cancer effectively, while protecting surrounding organs and tissues. This careful planning ensures the treatment is both safe and effective, tailored to each patient's unique anatomy and cancer type.
