What is Dynamic Targeting IGRT?
Dynamic Targeting IGRT (image-guided radiotherapy) involves using a variety of digital imaging techniques to pinpoint the exact location of a targeted tumor while the patient is in the treatment position, just prior to each daily treatment. It is the most advancedand most preciseform of radiation therapy currently available. This precision is very important because tumors are not stationary. They can shift and move slightly between treatments, and even during treatments due to normal physiological processes, such as breathing. IGRT uses advanced imaging techniques to verify the patients exact position and the tumors precise location at the moment of treatment. Dynamic Targeting IGRT is a radiotherapy treatment approach that utilizes multiple imaging and motion management techniques for ultra-accurate tumor targeting.
