ADAPTIVE RADIATION-THERAPY

Adaptive radiation therapy is a closed-loop radiation treatment proces s where the treatment plan can be modified using a systematic feedback of measurements. Adaptive radiation therapy intends to improve radiat ion treatment by systematically monitoring treatment variations and in corporating them to re-optimize the treatment plan early on during the course of treatment. In this process, field margin and treatment dose can be routinely customized to each individual patient to achieve a s afe dose escalation.
