How does adaptive radiation therapy work?
Adaptive radiation therapy harnesses the power of artificial intelligence (AI) with image-guided (MRI or CT) radiation therapy. This allows our experts to manage and adapt your unique radiotherapy treatment plan in real time and better target the tumor.
By leveraging the power of artificial intelligence to capture and analyze rapid images in real time, this system can quickly detect changes in tumor size, shape or position. The real-time data collected can then be used to automatically generate a treatment plan that is precisely suited for your anatomy each day of treatment.
