IGRT – Image-Guided Radiation Therapy
Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT) is an advanced radiation treatment technique that uses imaging during treatment to help accurately position the patient and target the treatment area.
How Does IGRT Work?
IGRT uses imaging technologies such as CT, X-ray, or other suitable imaging methods to verify the treatment position. This helps radiation oncology teams account for changes in patient positioning and the location of the treatment area.
Who May Benefit?
IGRT may be considered for patients receiving radiation therapy where accurate targeting is particularly important, including certain cancers located near sensitive organs.
