image guided radiation therapy (igrt)

What Should Patients Expect During IGRT?

Patients undergoing IGRT can expect a similar experience to traditional radiation therapy, with some key differences:
Pre-Treatment Imaging: Before each session, the patient will undergo imaging to locate the tumor precisely.
Positioning Adjustments: Based on the imaging, adjustments may be made to the patient’s position to ensure accurate targeting.
Real-Time Monitoring: During treatment, continuous imaging may be used to monitor and adjust the radiation delivery.
Shorter Sessions: Advances in technology often allow for shorter treatment sessions compared to conventional methods.
