Image Guided
Radiotherapy (IGRT)

      What is Image Guided Radiotherapy (IGRT)?

      Image Guided Radiotherapy (IGRT) is a cutting-edge cancer treatment technique that uses advanced imaging during radiation therapy to precisely target tumors. By capturing real-time images before or during each session, IGRT ensures the radiation beam is accurately aligned with the tumor, improving treatment accuracy and minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissues.

      How IGRT Works?

      IGRT integrates advanced imaging modalities such as CT scans, X-rays, or cone-beam CT with state-of-the-art linear accelerators. Before each treatment, images of the tumor and surrounding organs are taken to verify its exact position. Adjustments are made in real-time to compensate for any movement due to breathing, organ shifts, or patient positioning, ensuring precise radiation delivery every session.

      Advantages of IGRT

      • High Precision: Radiation is delivered exactly to the tumor location, reducing impact on healthy tissue.
      • Adaptability: Real-time imaging allows for adjustments if the tumor changes position or size.
      • Improved Safety: Reduces risk of side effects by sparing critical organs.
      • Enhanced Outcomes: Precise targeting allows higher doses to tumors for better control.

      Who Can Benefit?

      IGRT is suitable for patients with cancers that require extreme precision due to their location or movement, including:

      • Prostate cancer
      • Head and neck cancers
      • Lung tumors
      • Gastrointestinal cancers
      • Brain tumors

      The young brain is highly responsive to therapy and stimulation. When developmental issues are detected and treated during the early hidden or evolving stage, before the condition becomes fully established, the outcomes are significantly better and the effort, time and cost involved are far less. Waiting until a problem is fully manifested makes treatment harder and slower.
