IMRT Radiation Therapy – (Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy)
IMRT uses recent imagery and computer technology advances to change the form and strength of individual radiation rays, customizing the distribution of radiation to the form of each tumour. This allows for the delivery of higher, more effective radiation doses while reducing the damage to healthy tissue surrounding.
IMRT is especially useful in the treatment of unusually shaped tumors, as well as those that are situated extremely close to vital organs.
Because of improved target volume coverage and reduced dose to critical structures, IMRT has been widely accepted as an excellent treatment modality for many different tumor types
