IMRT – Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy
Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) is an advanced form of radiation treatment designed to deliver carefully planned radiation doses to cancerous tissues while helping reduce exposure to nearby healthy organs.
How IMRT Works
Before treatment, specialists use detailed imaging and treatment-planning techniques to map the tumor and surrounding structures. Radiation beams are then adjusted in intensity and direction to create a treatment plan suited to the individual patient's condition.
Conditions Treated
IMRT for cancer treatment may be considered for several cancers, including prostate, head and neck, brain, spine, and other tumors where precise radiation delivery is important. Suitability depends on the cancer type, stage, location, and overall treatment plan.
