Intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) is a type of radiation therapy used to treat cancer. It is a form of external beam radiation therapy that uses computer-controlled linear accelerators to deliver precise doses of radiation to a tumor or other targeted area. IMRT is used to treat a variety of cancers, including prostate, breast, lung, and head and neck cancers. It is also used to treat benign tumors and other conditions. IMRT is a form of nuclear medicine and radiopharmacology, which involves the use of radioactive substances to diagnose and treat diseases. IMRT is used to deliver high doses of radiation to a tumor while minimizing the dose to surrounding healthy tissue. This is done by using multiple beams of radiation that are shaped and directed to conform to the shape of the tumor. IMRT is a rapidly growing market, with many companies offering IMRT services. Some of these companies include Varian Medical Systems, Elekta, Accuray, and Brainlab. These companies provide IMRT systems, software, and services to hospitals and clinics around the world.
