Image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT)
Image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) is an advanced and highly precise treatment technique used in the field of radiation oncology. By providing real-time imaging information, IGRT enables radiation oncologists to make necessary adjustments during treatment sessions, ensuring maximum effectiveness while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues. This session focuses on techniques and tools used to account for motion during IGRT, such as respiratory gating, breath-hold techniques, and real-time tracking systems. Researchers are investigating the use of radiomics and radiogenomics in IGRT to improve treatment outcomes, personalize therapy, and identify potential biomarkers for prognosis.
