Northeast Louisiana Cancer Institute offers Image Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT) which represents one of the most significant technical advances in the field of radiation therapy.
IGRT allows the treatment team to obtain detailed images prior to treatment to help correctly position and align the target volume. The precision of IGRT offers patients the best chance for cure with the least chance of damaging nearby healthy tissue. Not every patient will need or benefit from IGRT, but your physician has this tool available and can use it if you are a candidate for this type of procedure.
