Image-Guided Radiotherapy: Transforming Precision in Cancer Care
Image-Guided Radiotherapy (IGRT) has reshaped modern cancer treatment by bringing unmatched accuracy and control to radiation therapy. Unlike traditional approaches that rely solely on static images captured before treatment begins, IGRT uses advanced imaging technologies throughout the entire therapy process. This continuous visualization allows clinicians to track tumor movement, adjust radiation beams in real time and protect surrounding healthy tissues with far greater precision. As a result, IGRT has become a cornerstone technique in clinics and hospitals where the goal is to improve both safety and effectiveness for patients undergoing radiation therapy.
At its core, IGRT uses imaging tools such as CT scans, MRI, ultrasound and cone-beam CT to verify tumor position before each treatment session. Tumors often shift slightly between sessions due to breathing, digestion or natural bodily changes. Even small movements can matter when dealing with powerful radiation beams. IGRT solves…
