Start Online Consultation →Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT) is an advanced cancer treatment that uses real-time imaging to deliver highly precise radiation to tumours. Patients from India can receive expert guidance through online consultation before starting treatment. This technology improves accuracy while reducing exposure to surrounding healthy tissues.
What Is IGRT?
Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT) is a modern form of radiation therapy that uses imaging techniques such as CT scans, X-rays, or MRI during each session. This allows doctors to track tumour position in real time and adjust treatment for maximum precision.
IGRT is especially useful for tumours that move due to breathing or body movement, ensuring accurate radiation delivery in every session.
Why IGRT Is Gaining Popularity in India
- High precision radiation delivery
- Reduced damage to nearby healthy tissues
- Improved tumour targeting accuracy
- Suitable for complex or moving tumours
- Fewer side effects compared to conventional radiation
- Better treatment outcomes
With increasing access to advanced radiation technology, many cancer patients in India are choosing IGRT for safer and more effective treatment.
Who May Benefit From IGRT
IGRT is recommended based on tumour type, location, and patient condition. It may be suitable for:
- Tumours located near critical organs
- Prostate, lung, and head & neck cancers
- Tumours affected by breathing motion
- Patients requiring highly precise radiation
- Recurrent or previously treated cancers
Doctors evaluate imaging scans, biopsy reports, and clinical history before recommending IGRT.
Types of Cancer Treated with IGRT
- Prostate cancer
- Lung cancer
- Breast cancer
- Head & neck cancers
- Brain tumours
- Spinal tumours
- Abdominal and pelvic cancers
Treatment Timeline & Recovery
During Treatment
- Short daily radiation sessions
- Real-time imaging before each session
- Non-invasive and painless procedure
Week 1–2
- Monitoring for mild side effects
