brachytherapy

Proton therapy is an external beam radiation therapy technique that uses protons instead of X-rays to treat cancer. It is a competitor because it offers an alternative method of delivering targeted radiation to tumors, potentially replacing the need for brachytherapy in certain cases.

IMRT (Intensity-modulated radiation therapy) is an external beam radiation therapy technique that shapes the radiation beam to conform to the 3D shape of a tumor. It is a competitor because it offers an alternative method of delivering targeted radiation to tumors, potentially replacing the need for brachytherapy in certain cases.

SBRT (Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy) is a type of external beam radiation therapy that delivers high doses of radiation to a small, well-defined tumor in the body. It is a competitor because it offers an alternative method of delivering targeted radiation to tumors, potentially replacing the need for brachytherapy in certain cases.

VMAT (Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy) is an external beam radiation therapy technique that delivers radiation continuously as the treatment machine rotates around the patient. It is a competitor because it offers an alternative method of delivering targeted radiation to tumors, potentially replacing the need for brachytherapy in certain cases.

Vision RT provides surface guided radiation therapy (SGRT) which can be used to monitor patient positioning during brachytherapy procedures, ensuring accurate delivery and minimizing complications.

IGRT (Image-guided radiation therapy) is a technique used to improve the precision of radiation therapy delivery by imaging the tumor before or during treatment and adjusting the treatment plan accordingly. Can be complementary by ensuring accuracy of brachytherapy placement and delivery.
