Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT)
Advanced imaging technology and computer mapping systems help make radiation therapy safer and more effective than in the past. You can count on the cancer doctors at Mays Cancer Center, home to UT Health San Antonio MD Anderson Cancer Center, for precise care tailored to your needs. Our experts use image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) to focus radiation beams where they are needed. Increased precision enables us to treat cancer while protecting healthy tissues. As a result, IGRT minimizes side effects and safeguards long-term health.
Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT)
At Mays Cancer Center, home to UT Health San Antonio MD Anderson Cancer Center, our team pioneered the use of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) decades ago. Today, our experts use IMRT to treat certain cancers, such as prostate and lung cancers, with incredible precision. IMRT’s increased effectiveness — with fewer side effects — offers new possibilities for what you can do during and after cancer treatment.
