IMRT‚ Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy

Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is an advanced technology that makes it possible to target a tumor with greater precision when providing radiation therapy. This helps reduce the damage to healthy tissue surrounding the tumor.

Advanced Imaging Simulation

Advanced imaging simulation is a treatment planning system that can integrate multiple sources of imaging information, achieving the most precise treatments possible.

Therapy Planning

Therapy planning is the creation of a treatment plan in the form of a written document that is used by the therapist and the patient. This plan guides the patient in taking the appropriate steps to effectively treat and recover from a health condition.
