3-Dimensional Conformal Radiation Therapy (3D-CRT)
Radiation Oncology Helps Patients Fight Cancer
3D-CRT stands for Three-Dimensional Conformal Radiation Therapy. 3D-CRT uses special computers to precisely map a tumor’s location. Radiation beams are then shaped and aimed at the tumor from several directions, which makes it less likely to damage normal tissues. IMRT is an advanced form of 3D-CRT.
