3D Conformal

3D conformal radiation therapy is a type of cancer treatment that uses advanced technology to deliver radiation directly to the tumor while avoiding healthy tissues as much as possible. Doctors first take detailed 3D images of the tumor and surrounding area using a machine called a CT scanner. Then, they use these images to plan the treatment, making sure the radiation beams are aimed precisely at the tumor from different angles. This helps to kill cancer cells while minimizing damage to nearby healthy cells. It’s like aiming a laser beam at a target, making sure to hit only the bullseye and not the surrounding area. This way, the treatment can be more effective and have fewer side effects.
