Description

It tries on IMRT and 3-D conformal radiotherapy. Advanced imaging, planning and delivery tools such as 3D TPS, ITP and IMRT, allow the creation of highly conformal dose distributions. The treatment is only as good as the ability to know where the target and the sensitive structures are at all times. Margins to the target volume should account for uncertainties in localization, for patient repositioning and immobilization, and for organ motion
