Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) is a sophisticated form of radiation therapy that allows for precise targeting of cancerous tumors while minimizing radiation exposure to surrounding healthy tissues. IMRT achieves this by modulating the intensity of the radiation beams, allowing for a more customized and conformal treatment. Here are some key aspects of Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy […]
Brachytherapy is a form of radiation therapy in which radioactive sources are placed directly into or near the tumor, delivering a high dose of radiation to the target area while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissues. The term “brachy” is derived from the Greek word for “short,” reflecting the short distance the radiation travels within […]
Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) is a non-invasive medical procedure that uses radiation therapy used to treat brain tumors that are both cancerous and non- cancerous. Despite its name, SRS does not involve traditional surgery with incisions. Instead, it utilizes highly focused radiation beams to target and treat specific areas of tissue. Here are some key points […]
