Radiation Therapy-

• Radiation Therapy involves the use of ionizing
  radiation (commonly X rays) for the treatment of
  malignant and some benign tumors. Since the
  discovery of X rays in late 19th century, the
  technology of radiation delivery, understanding
  of tumor biology and radiobiology has grown by
  leaps and bounds.Radiation Therapy uses
  carefully targeted and regulated doses of
  high-energy radiation to kill cancer cells.

Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT)

• It is an advanced type of high precision
  radiotherapy technique used to treat cancers and
  non cancerous tumors. It uses an advanced
  technology to manipulate beams of radiation to
  conform to the shape of tumor and to reduce the
  incident dose to normal tissues, to limit the
  side effects of treatment. Each radiation beam is
  divided into several small beamlets that can vary
  their intensity. This allows different doses of
  radiation to be given across the tumor.

Image Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT)

• This technique uses frequent imaging during a
  course of radiation therapy to improve the
  precision and accuracy of radiation delivery.
  IGRT is especially useful in tumors which may
  move during treatment or between treatments like
  lung, prostate tumors. The advantage is that a
  Radiation Oncologist can target the radiation
  delivery accurately, hence improving the chances
  of tumor control and reducing the side effects.

6
Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT)

• This is an advanced high precision radiotherapy
  where a linac delivers radiation in a single or
  multi arc treatment by rotation of the gantry. It
  allows the treatment to be delivered faster with
  greater accuracy and patient comfort.
