Intensity modulated radiation therapy [IMRT]
Intensity modulated radiation therapy [IMRT] is high precision radiation therapy that delivers high dose radiation to cancerous tumours, while limiting impact on healthy surrounding tissue.
Technique
Image Guided Radiation Therapy [IGRT]
IGRT is a radiation therapy that utilises the most advanced imaging equipment and computer software. An image is taken before radiation commences to guide the treatment and ensure the degree of accuracy can be maintained from day to day.
Technique
Volumetric modulated arc therapy [VMAT]
Volumetric modulated arc therapy [VMAT] is the latest in radiation treatment delivery and involves the use of external radiation therapy beams which are directed in a series of arcs or angles to allow for greater access to a cancerous tumour, reducing the length of treatment and patient discomfort.
Technique
Brachytherapy
Brachytherapy is a special form of internal radiation therapy where a radioactive source is placed beside or inside the tumour, to deliver radiation to small areas over a period of time. It is especially useful for certain types of cancers including gynaecological, urological, and head and neck cancers.
Technique
Stereotactic Radiation Therapy
Stereotactic technology is an advanced technique used to treat small tumours with well-defined edge, in the brain, spine or lung.
