Newer techniques, such as 3-D conformal radiotherapy, intensity modulated radiotherapy, and image guided radiotherapy, obtain an extremely accurate shaping of the target that receives the prescribed ...

Once realised in the clinic, VHEEs – with energies from 50 up to 400 MeV – will deliver highly penetrating, easily steerable, conformal treatment beams with the potential to enable emerging techniques ...

The American Society for Radiation Oncology has issued its first clinical guideline on the use of radiation therapy to treat ...

The result was three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT), which improved the precision of the delivery of radiation to image-based targets. These targets are defined as the gross tumor ...

Modern conformal radiation therapy should not only aim to conform the treated volume to the PTV, i.e. increase the isodose sculpting ability in treatment planning and execution, but also to conform ...

The type of external radiotherapy you have depends on the: type of cancer you have where it is how far it has grown or spread (the stage) the treatment you have already had your general health ...

This includes instruction in the physics of radiosurgery, intraoperative radiation therapy, 3D conformal treatment planning and delivery, IMRT, radioimmunotherapy, unsealed sources, total body ...
