adaptive radiation therapy

How Does Adaptive Radiation Therapy Work?

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.
