The planning process for IMRT involves several steps:
Imaging: Detailed imaging studies, such as CT scans and MRIs, are conducted to map the tumor's exact location and shape. Simulation: A simulation session is performed to position the patient and determine the best angles for the radiation beams. Treatment Planning: Using specialized software, a treatment plan is created that specifies the dose distribution and beam configurations. Quality Assurance: Before treatment begins, the plan is reviewed and verified to ensure accuracy and safety.
