About IGRT (Image-Guided Radiation Therapy)
Image-guided radiation therapy, or IGRT, uses scans taken just before each session to line up the radiation precisely with the tumour. It allows accurate treatment of cancers that move, such as prostate, lung and head and neck.
At each visit, a CT, cone-beam CT or X-ray image is taken on the treatment machine and compared with the planning scan. Small shifts in your position or the tumour's position are corrected before the beam is switched on. IGRT is used with techniques such as IMRT and stereotactic treatment, allowing tighter margins around the tumour and a better chance of sparing healthy organs.
Usually a good fit if
- A cancer where precise daily positioning is needed, such as prostate, lung, head and neck or tumours near sensitive organs.
- Able to lie still for short sessions and attend daily on weekdays.
- A radiation oncologist has recommended radiation as the primary or post-operative treatment.
May need to wait if
- Inability to lie still or to follow positioning instructions may limit accuracy.
- Previous radiation to the same area can restrict further dose.
- Active serious infection or unstable health may require delay of treatment.
How to prepare
- Bring scans, biopsy reports and any earlier radiation records for plan design.
- Follow bladder or bowel preparation instructions if pelvic treatment needs a full bladder or empty rectum.
- Ask your doctor whether any markers or spacer gel are needed before planning.
- Plan a planning scan visit and arrange accommodation near the hospital for the whole course.
- Wear loose clothing, and tell staff about pacemakers or implants.
Questions to ask your surgeon
- What imaging do you use before each session to align the tumour?
- How many sessions will I have, and at what dose?
- Which nearby organs are at risk and how are they protected?
- What side effects should I expect and when do they usually appear?
- Will chemotherapy or hormone therapy be combined with radiation?
- Who reviews my plan, and can the course be continued at a centre near my home?
Red flags when comparing hospitals
- No planning scan or documented plan is shown before treatment starts.
- The centre has no on-board imaging for daily alignment.
- No named radiation oncologist or physicist responsible for your plan.
- Treatment course is changed or cut without explanation.
