ART involves several steps that are integrated into the treatment workflow:
Initial Imaging: Before treatment, detailed imaging scans such as CT or MRI are performed to map out the tumor and surrounding tissues. Treatment Planning: A customized treatment plan is developed based on the initial imaging, specifying the radiation dose and delivery angles. Daily Imaging: During each treatment session, additional imaging is conducted to capture any anatomical changes. Plan Adaptation: The treatment plan is adjusted in real-time or between sessions to account for changes observed in the daily imaging. Delivery: The updated plan is then used to deliver the radiation dose precisely to the tumor.
