• IMRT – Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy
  IMRT is an advanced mode of high- precision radiotherapy that utilizes computer- controlled x-ray accelerators to deliver precise radiation doses to a malignant tumor or specific areas within the tumor.
• 3-D CRT – Three Dimensional Conformal Radiation Therapy
  3-D CRT is an advanced mode of radiation therapy that utilizes x-ray producing linear accelerators to deliver prescribed doses of radiation through beams that are shaped to conform to the shape of the tumor.
• Orthovoltage – Superficial Radiation Treatment
  Orthovoltage radiation treatments use lower x-ray energy than conventional radiation therapy treatments.
• HDR – High Dose Rate Brachytherapy
  High dose rate (HDR) remote brachytherapy involves placing very tiny plastic catheters into the treatment area, and then giving radiation treatments through these catheters over a short, temporary period of time.
• IGRT – Image Guided Radiation Therapy
  Image guided radiation therapy is a procedure designed to treat the defined tumor and spare the surrounding normal tissue from receiving doses above specified dose tolerances.
• External Beam Conventional Radiotherapy – Teletherapy
  External beam conventional radiotherapy, otherwise known as teletherapy, is the most frequently used form of radiation therapy.
