How Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT/VMAT) is performed
Provided that exposure and fixation are satisfactory, a thermoplastic mask is usually made and localization CT/image fusion is performed. After the doctor outlines the tumor and organs at risk, the physicist performs intensity-modulated or volumetric-modulated arc therapy optimization, and the dose is precisely shaped and delivered using a multi-leaf collimator. Image-guided correction is often used during the treatment period, and the oral mucosa and skin reactions and nutritional status are monitored. The goal is to control the tumor while protecting normal tissues as much as possible. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details depend on specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
