Image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) uses medical imaging to precisely target radiation treatment, especially for tumours in moving areas like the lungs. Before treatment, your doctor scans the treatment area to set your position and target the tumour accurately. Some IGRT methods, like fiducial markers or 4D gating, aid in alignment during treatment. Special devices help maintain your position. You will also have a simulation session with CT, MRI, or PET scans to map your tumour’s shape and location.
