Dynamic Targeting^® IGRT (Image-Guided Radiotherapy) from Varian Medical Systems

PHYSICIAN BENEFITS

	Dynamic Targeting IGRT is an advanced and versatile cancer treatment that can enhance radiotherapy treatment precision and allow physicians to escalate the radiation dose to cancer cells while keeping the dose to surrounding tissues a low as possible. This increases the chances of eradicating the tumor and minimizing treatment side effects.
	Dynamic Targeting IGRT offers physicians imaging techniques to verify patient position and tumor position at the time of treatment.
	Respiratory gating can be used for treating tumors in the abdomen and thorax, where tumor motion is a consideration. This technology "gates" the beam on and off as the patient breathes normally, so that it is delivered only when the tumor is in the correct position, directly in the path of the beam.
