Stereotactic Radiation, also known as stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) or stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), is a precise and highly targeted form of radiation therapy used to treat tumours and other medical conditions with extreme accuracy. It delivers high doses of radiation to a specific target area while minimizing radiation exposure to surrounding healthy tissues.
Image Guided Radiotherapy (IGRT) is an advanced form of radiation therapy that uses imaging technology to precisely target tumours and deliver radiation with a high degree of accuracy. It combines real-time imaging techniques such as X-rays, CT scans, or MRI scans with radiation therapy to ensure that the radiation is directed precisely at the tumour while sparing nearby healthy tissues.
4D Respiratory Motion Gated Radiotherapy is an advanced technique used in radiation therapy to account for the movement of internal organs, particularly the lungs, due to respiratory motion. It involves real-time imaging and tracking of tumour motion during breathing, allowing for precise delivery of radiation to the tumour while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissues.
Rapid Arc Radiotherapy is an innovative and advanced technique used in radiation therapy to deliver precise and targeted radiation treatment to cancerous tumours. It utilizes a sophisticated technology known as volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) to deliver radiation beams that rotate around the patient's body in a continuous arc while adjusting the intensity of the radiation dose.
4D Respiratory Motion Gating - CT is a specialized imaging technique used in radiation therapy to account for the movement of internal organs, particularly the lungs, due to respiratory motion. It involves acquiring multiple CT images of the chest or abdomen over the course of the respiratory cycle, allowing for precise visualization and tracking of tumour motion during breathing.
Brachytherapy, also known as internal radiation therapy, is a type of cancer treatment that involves placing radioactive sources directly into or near the tumour site. These radioactive sources emit high-energy radiation that destroys cancer cells while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues. Brachytherapy can be used to treat various types of cancer, including prostate cancer, cervical cancer, breast cancer, and skin cancer.
Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) is an advanced technique used in radiation therapy to precisely deliver radiation to tumours while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissues. It uses computer-controlled linear accelerators to modulate the intensity of radiation beams and shape them to conform to the specific shape and size of the tumour.
