Radiation Therapy

The radiation therapy channel covers all aspects of radiation oncology technology. Radiation therapy includes linear accelerators (LINAC), proton therapy, brachytherapy, image guided radiation therapy (IGRT), focused ultrasound, stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), treatment planning systems and tomotherapy.

Above a certain size, individual brain metastases are often surgically removed with the help of microsurgical resection. In stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), in contrast, they are usually treated with a single high-dose targeted radiation using cobalt-60-gamma radiation sources.
