The technical evolution of radiation therapy for brain cancer has improved both the efficacy of individual radiation treatments and patient safety. The advent of computed tomography (CT)-based planning marked an important initial shift toward target-directed treatment (1). Treatment planning accuracy was further increased by fusing CT planning images with positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans (2, 3). Additionally, cone beam CT images acquired before each fraction were added to compensate for any deviations from the simulation CT (4).

Low-Dose Radiotherapy (LDRT): How does it work?
Low-dose radiotherapy (LDRT) is a treatment for osteoarthritis (OA) and other degenerative joint conditions, with roots tracing back over a century. Though once widespread, LDRT fell out of favor in some countries due to radiophobia and shifting medical priorities....
