Radiation Therapy is a form of cancer treatment that uses high energy x-rays to kill cancer cells. Radiation therapy, including intensity modulated radiotherapy, may be used alone or in conjunction with surgery or chemotherapy. Through years of research and experience, doctors specializing in radiation therapy have determined the optimum doses for specific types of cancer, optimizing the doze to the site of the cancer, while minimizing harm to healthy tissue. The Radiation Oncologist will select the type of therapy best suited for your particular case.

IGRT is the most advanced form of radiation therapy available, in large part because it is so precise. Tumors can shift and move slightly between treatments and even during treatment because of normal physiological processes, such as breathing. IGRT uses advanced imaging techniques to verify your position and the tumor’s exact location at the moment of treatment.

Knowing exactly where the tumor is located allows clinicians to limit the radiation to the tumor as much as possible, thus maximally sparing the surrounding normal tissue. This accuracy results in higher radiation doses to the tumor and thereby increases the likelihood of controlling or eliminating the cancer.

Cone beam CT has the capability of acquiring a 3D volumetric image of the patient in a single 360-degree rotation. It generates a 3D image of the same type that is used to plan the patient from the original CT planning session. Cone beam CT is capable of using either fiducial markers of bony anatomy to precisely position the patient for the most accurate treatment.
