How SBRT Works
SBRT treatment is carefully designed to ensure maximum tumor control and safety. Each step is guided by imaging and planning to achieve precision delivery of high-dose radiation:
- Advanced Imaging: CT, MRI, and PET scans map the tumor and surrounding organs for accurate targeting.
- Treatment Planning: Computerized systems create a personalized plan for safe and effective radiation delivery.
- Precision Delivery: Multiple beams converge on the tumor to maximize dose and minimize exposure to nearby organs.
- Short Treatment Course: SBRT usually completes therapy in 1–5 sessions, reducing the need for prolonged visits.
