Before we delve into the cost aspect, let's first understand what Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT) is all about. IGRT is an innovative treatment technique that combines advanced imaging technology with radiation therapy to precisely target and deliver radiation to cancerous tumors. By using real-time imaging before and during treatment, IGRT ensures that the radiation is accurately delivered to the intended area, minimizing damage to healthy surrounding tissues. This precision is crucial in maximizing treatment efficacy and minimizing potential side effects.
According to recent statistics, the average cost of Image-guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT) treatment in Turkey ranges between $3,500 and $5,000 per session.
IGRT uses a variety of imaging modalities, such as X-ray, CT, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and positron emission tomography (PET), to provide real-time feedback on the location of the tumor and surrounding normal tissues. This real-time imaging allows for precise adjustments in patient positioning and tumor targeting, ensuring the radiation is delivered with utmost accuracy.
The benefits of IGRT are numerous:
. Enhanced Tumor Localization: IGRT enables clinicians to visualize the tumor and surrounding structures in real-time, allowing for accurate target definition and localization.
. Adaptation to Organ Motion: Organs within the body can move due to breathing or other bodily functions. IGRT allows for continuous monitoring and adaptation to organ motion, ensuring that the radiation is delivered precisely to the intended target.
. Reduced Margins and Increased Dose: With IGRT, the need for larger treatment margins is reduced, enabling a more focused radiation dose to the tumor. This leads to better tumor control and reduced side effects.
With these advantages, it's no wonder that IGRT has become a game-changer in the field of radiation therapy.
