Radiation Oncology Cancer Care Radiation Therapy The science of radiation oncology has seen remarkable progress in recent years. And Advanced Prostate Cancer Institute brings the very latest radiation therapy techniques to our patients, including Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy. Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) represents a significant improvement on prior medical radiation technology. Based on CT and MRI imaging, the radiation oncologist uses sophisticated computer targeting systems to deliver small amounts of radiation to the affected area. IMRT allows for superior accuracy: Radiation beams are modulated to conform to the three-dimensional shape of the tumor, substantially reducing the impact on surrounding healthy tissue. The success of IMRT relies on our lea
