image guided radiation therapy (igrt)

What are the Limitations of IGRT?

Despite its many advantages, IGRT has some limitations:
Increased Complexity: The need for advanced imaging equipment and expertise can make IGRT more complex and resource-intensive.
Higher Costs: The additional technology and time required for IGRT can lead to higher treatment costs compared to traditional radiation therapy.
Potential for Over-Reliance: While imaging is crucial, over-reliance on imaging without considering clinical judgment can sometimes lead to suboptimal treatment decisions.
