Radiation therapy

Adaptive radiation therapy (ART) aims to improve effectiveness of external beam radiation therapy resulting in improved long-term disease control while reducing the rates of normal tissue toxicity. We develop the SlicerRT toolkit to facilitate usage of ART and other advanced techniques in the clinic.
