VMAT is an advanced form ofIMRT, where the radiation dose is also varied throughoutradiation therapytreatment, but it delivers a continuous beam of radiotherapy in an arc Stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) - SBRT SABR There are a few different terms for stereotactic radiotherapy, which can be confusi...
Intensity 锕巓dulated radiation therapy(IMRT) represents one of the most significant technical innovations of the modern day radiation therapy. Unlike conventional three銉緄mensional conformal radiation therapy (3DCRT), both the treatment planning and delivery of IMRT are more complex and less ...

Dose-volume constraints have been of little relevance for 3D-conformal RT (3D-CRT) as the planner is configuring a variety of beams, wedges, and beamweights to end up in a suitable plan (called “forward planning”). In contrast, the complexity of IMRT requires the inverse and allows ...
However, the definition of this level of risk is not clear. For colorectal cancer, preoperative radiotherapy followed by surgery compared with surgery alone would be considered cost effective. For prostate cancer, brachytherapy and 3-dimensional (3D) conformal radiation would be considered cost ...

With the addition of the TomoHD treatment systems, HKSH will expand its TomoTherapy treatment programme to meet high patient demand and bring advanced image-guided, intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IG-IMRT) capabilities and treatment quality to a broader patient population. TomoTherapy ships 350...
IMRT has improved the late toxicity profile, especially for high doses of radiation away from the tumour. Managing recurrence When recurrence occurs, this indicates resistance to radiotherapy, so surgery is the preferred option where possible. For patients that are inoperable,...
