Adaptive  Radiotherapy

Adaptive Radiotherapy is a treatment technique that can systematically improve its treatment plan in response to patient/organ temporal variations observed during the therapy process.

Variations in patient/organ shape and position could occur during the radiotherapy course. Consequently, the radiation dose delivered to the target and critical normal organs can significantly deviate from planned doses. It is important that we identify these changes happening during treatment and modify the plan using ‘Adaptive Radiotherapy’ so as to deliver accurate doses to the tumor while reducing normal tissue toxicity.
