Abstract
Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT) is a technique that uses two- and three-dimensional imaging. It is applied to accurately locate the treatment area prior to patient exposure to the therapeutic beam, generated to implement treatment plans with high dose distribution conformality, based on beam intensity modulation techniques
The aim of this study was to discuss the currently used imaging methods in IGRT - volumetric and planar, based on the use of ionizing radiation, and other, based on non-ionization phenomena.
