CT guidance for insertion of radiation therapy fields involves using a CT scan to accurately map the area of your body where radiation will be applied. This ensures the radiation targets only the necessary area, minimizing impact to healthy tissues.

Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is a type of cancer treatment. It uses advanced technology to manipulate photon beams of radiation to conform to the shape of a tumor. IMRT allows for the radiation dose to conform more precisely to the three-dimensional shape of the tumor by modulating—or controlling—the intensity of the radiation beam. This can result in better tumor control and less harm to healthy tissue.

This procedure involves gathering essential information to create the best radiation treatment plan for a specific area. It includes scanning the treatment area and using this data to calculate the precise dose of radiation needed to target the disease effectively, while sparing healthy tissue.

This is a routine check-up for patients who have previously visited our clinic. It involves a comprehensive review of your health and any ongoing treatments. The consultation lasts between 30-39 minutes, allowing enough time to discuss any concerns.

High Dose Rate Electronic Brachytherapy (HDR EBT) is a precise form of radiation therapy. It involves placing a tiny source of radiation directly into the area needing treatment. This allows a high dose of radiation to be delivered directly to the area, while reducing exposure to surrounding healthy tissues.

Continuing radiation therapy consultation per week involves regular meetings with your healthcare team. These sessions help monitor your progress, manage side effects, and adjust your treatment plan if necessary. It's a key part of ensuring the effectiveness of your radiation therapy.
