11Neutron Capture Therapy of Cancer — Neutron Capture Therapy (NCT) is a noninvasive therapeutic modality for treating locally invasive malignant tumors such as primary brain tumors and recurrent head and neck cancer. It is a two step procedure: first, the patient is injected with a… …
12Particle therapy — Intervention ICD 9: 92.26 Particle therapy is a form of external beam radiotherapy using beams of energetic protons, neutrons, or positive ions for cancer treatment. The most common …
13Proton therapy — is a type of particle therapy which utilizes a beam of protons to irradiate diseased tissue, most often in the treatment of cancer. Description Proton therapy, like all forms of radiotherapy, works by aiming energetic ionizing particles (in this… …
14Image-guided radiation therapy — (IGRT) is the process of frequent two and three dimensional imaging, during a course of radiation treatment, used to direct radiation therapy utilizing the imaging coordinates of the actual radiation treatment plan. The patient is localized in… …
15Boron neutron capture therapy — Intervention A schematic of therapy facility in Otaniemi, Finland. ICD 10 PCS D?0?6ZZ …
16External beam radiotherapy — otherwise known as teletherapy, is the most frequently used form of radiotherapy. The patient sits or lies on a couch and an external source of radiation is pointed at a particular part of the body. Kilovoltage (also known as Superficial or Deep) …
17Stereotactic external-beam radiation therapy — is a type of external radiation therapy that uses special equipment to position the patient and precisely deliver radiation to a tumor. The total dose of radiation is divided into several smaller doses given over several days. Stereotactic… …
18Low level laser therapy — For more general use of light in therapy, see Light therapy. Low level laser therapy Intervention MeSH D028022 Low level laser therapy (LLLT) is a medical and veterinary tr …
19Boron Neutron Capture Therapy — (BNCT) is an experimental form of radiotherapy that utilizes a neutron beam that interacts with boron injected to a patient. BNCT depends on the interaction of slow neutrons with boron 10 to produce alpha particles and lithium nuclei, without… …
20Charged-particle radiation therapy — is a type of external radiation therapy that uses a particle accelerator to fire high energy particles (such as protons or carbon nuclei[1]) that kill cancer cells. This method causes less damage to nearby healthy tissue than traditional… …
