Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) – viva station
Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT)1 • IMR is a significant advance over 3D-CR and is now used standardly or treatment of most head and neck tumors. • IMR uses many beams or arcs and requires the use of computer-based planning to create sophisticated radiation plans in which small leaves move…

What is Three-Dimensional Conformal Radiation Therapy (3D-CRT)
What is Three-Dimensional Conformal Radiation Therapy (3D-CRT) • Refers to CT -based radiation planning. • The tumor and critical avoidance structures, such as the brain stem or parotid glands, are contoured on axial C images. • Radiation therapy is planned, usually with 2 to 6 beams, with the goals of…
