radiation physics

How is Treatment Planning Done?

Treatment planning involves several steps:
Imaging: Techniques like CT scans, MRI, and PET scans are used to visualize the tumor and surrounding anatomy.
Simulation: Virtual simulations are conducted to determine the optimal angles and intensities for radiation delivery.
Dosimetry: Detailed dose calculations are performed to ensure maximum tumor control with minimal side effects.
Delivery: The planned treatment is executed using precise equipment, such as linear accelerators or specialized brachytherapy devices.
