Overview
This is a broad study of the use of three-dimensional techniques in radiation therapy, in order to specify the target volume precisely and then to deliver radiation with similar precision, thus minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. These techniques are at the forefront of radiotherapy research. Multimodality computed tomography, complex treatment-planning software, advanced collimation techniques, proton radiotherapy, megavoltage imaging and stereotactic radiosurgery are discussed.
