IMRT (Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy)

This advanced form of radiotherapy offered at Gulf Coast Cancer Centers is a technologically superior device which selectively blocks portions of the radiation beam in order to attack only the affected area. In turn oncologists are able to treat tumors with precision, even in complicated areas.

IMRT creates a clinically optimized treatment plan by evaluating millions of possible beam arrangements, allowing doctors to give doses of radiation in three dimensions. By concentrating the radiation on the actual tumor, oncologists and radiologists are able to drastically reduce side effects of the treatment.
