Sohag Oncology Department is now providing IMRT radiation techniques for Head and neck Cancer patients
Intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) uses linear accelerators to safely and painlessly deliver precise radiation doses to a tumor while minimizing the dose to surrounding normal tissue. The radiation oncologist will speak with you to determine whether IMRT is the most appropriate treatment for you.
In conventional 3DCRT, clinicians input delivery patterns into the computer. In IMRT, the physician designates specific doses of radiation (constraints) that the tumor and normal surrounding tissues should receive. ... IMRT uses the same medical linear accelerators that deliver x-ray beams in conventional 3DCRT.
