About Rapid Arc with IGRT for prostate cancer

Rapid arc is a technique that shortens the treatment time remarkably and uses computer generated images to plan and deliver the radiation dose (IGRT- Image guided radiation dose). The machine has the capability to rotate 360 degrees and thus deliver the highly focused beam of radiation onto the tumor. The technique helps in targeting the tumor from almost any angle and is less dangerous to the surrounding healthy tissue.
