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.
Six of the top 20 radiotherapy stories in 2019 involved proton therapy. This includes two video inetrviews shot during a site visit to the Northwestern Medicine Proton Center in the Chicago suburb of Warrenville, Ill.
