The planning and delivery of SBRT involve multiple steps:
Consultation: Initial consultation with an oncologist to determine the suitability of SBRT. Imaging: Advanced imaging techniques like CT, MRI, or PET scans are used to locate the tumor accurately. Treatment Planning: A customized treatment plan is developed using specialized software to calculate the optimal radiation dose. Delivery: The patient is positioned precisely, and radiation is delivered using a linear accelerator or other specialized equipment. Follow-up: Regular follow-up appointments to monitor the treatment's effectiveness and manage any side effects.
