Here are some key features of IMRT:

1. Modulated Intensity: IMRT delivers varying intensities of radiation beams from multiple angles, conforming to the shape of the tumor. This helps deliver higher doses to the tumor while sparing nearby organs.
2. Planning Process: The treatment plan is carefully designed using sophisticated software that calculates the optimal dose distribution, taking into account the tumor’s size, shape, and location.
3. Improved Outcomes: By targeting the tumor more accurately, IMRT can lead to improved control of the cancer and potentially reduce side effects compared to traditional radiation therapy methods.
4. Common Uses: IMRT is often used for various cancers, including prostate, head and neck, and breast cancers.
