Abstract
In the last few years improvements in radiotherapy go in parallel with technological developments which directly affect the treatment and planning techniques. Consequently, basic principles of radiotherapy, to protect normal tissue while increasing the tumor dose, may be more accurately and precisely checked. With the use of complicated treatment plans as IMRT, IGRT method has been developed in order to increase the quality and precision of the therapy. This method is used to check treatment fields with the guidance of 2 dimensional and 3 dimensional anatomical imaging, which can be done with only high technology machines. In this review, we would like to contribute to the major technological developments in the radiotherapy area and our experience with IGRT for the last year

Abstract
Radyoterapi alanında son yıllarda gözlenen hızlı gelişmeler teknolojideki gelişmelere paralel olarak gitmektedir. Kullanılan cihazların gelişmesi tedavi tekniklerine ve planlama sistemlerine doğrudan yansımıştır. Bu sayede radyoterapinin temel prensibi olan normal dokuların etkilendiği ışın dozunu azaltıp, tümör dozunu artırmak artık daha kesin ve doğruluk oranı yüksek olarak yapılmaktadır. IMRT gibi komplike tedavi planlamalarının uygulanmaya başlaması ile beraber tedavi kalitesini ve doğruluğunu artırmak amacıyla IGRT metodu da geliştirilmiştir. Bu yöntem; tedavi odasında uygulanan iki ve üç boyutlu anatomik görüntüleme ve tedavi alanlarının kontrol işlemidir ve ancak yüksek teknolojik özelliklere sahip cihazlar ile yapılabilmektedir. Bu derlemede son yıllarda radyoterapi alanında meydana gelen bu büyük teknolojik gelişmeleri ve son 1 yıldır kullanma şansını bulduğumuz IGRT deneyimimizi paylaşmak istiyoruz
