Irradiation Conformational

Conformal irradiation is a method of external beam radiation therapy in which the size and position of the beam changes depending on the shape and size of the tumor. This allows radiation to be directed only to the tumor area without affecting healthy tissue.

Irradiation using the conformal method is carried out on a linear accelerator or on a gamma therapy device. In the first case, the radiation beam is created in the form of parallel rays that pass through the patient's body and are focused on the tumor using a collimator. The second method uses gamma radiation, which is generated inside the patient's body using a radioactive source.

One of the advantages of conformal radiation is the ability to more accurately dose radiation, which reduces the risk of side effects and improves the effectiveness of treatment. In addition, this method can be used to treat tumors that cannot be completely removed by surgery, such as brain or lung tumors.

However, irradiation using the conformal method also has some disadvantages. For example, it requires special equipment and qualified personnel. In addition, the procedure can be quite lengthy and painful for the patient.

Overall, conformal radiation remains one of the most effective methods for treating malignant tumors and continues to develop and improve.

Conformal irradiation is a unique method of radiation therapy that is used to treat cancer and other diseases. It allows you to more accurately direct the rays to the tumor and minimize harm to surrounding tissues.

What is radiation? Radiation therapy is the treatment of tumors using radiation. Radiation is radiation that contains energy and can harm living organisms. Radiation treatment consists of two main steps: using a technique to target the radiation source with beams (called “microfocal beams”) and directing them toward the tumor.

How does radiation work in conformal therapy? Conformal irradiation uses information processing technologies to set the precise direction of microfocal beams. One device can have more than 60,000
