IMRT
TREATMENT MODALITY
Intensity-modulated radiation therapy
is an advanced treatment modality, allowing a higher, precise dose to the targeted tumor area, while minimizing radiation to surrounding normal healthy tissue.
IMRT
uses advanced technology to manipulate photon and proton beams of radiation to conform to the shape of a tumor.
IMRT
The goal of IMRT is to conform the radiation dose to the target and to avoid or reduce exposure of healthy tissue to limit the side effects of treatment.
3D Conformal
Compared with historical, 2-D radiation therapy, 3-D conformal radiation more precisely delivers radiation to cancer cells, while reducing the amount of radiation to healthy cells.
