Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT) is an advanced form of radiation treatment offered at the Asian Center of Oncology and Hematology (ACOH), designed to enhance the accuracy and effectiveness of cancer care.
In IGRT, high-resolution images are taken just before each radiation therapy session. These real-time visuals allow radiation oncologists to precisely locate the tumor and adjust the treatment area if needed, ensuring maximum accuracy with every session.
This high level of precision enables doctors to deliver higher doses of radiation safely, which may improve treatment outcomes while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues. IGRT is particularly valuable for tumors that move or change position between treatments and has become a gold standard for precision-guided cancer therapy.
