Image guided radiation therapy on patients with health education [Abstract] direction with the high-precision radiation therapy to the development of image guided radiation therapy (IGRT become a very important new radiation technology. Will be used in IGRT health education of patients, can improve the treatment of patients with active participation to help them successful completion of radiotherapy to improve the quality of life. [Keywords] image guided, radiation therapy, health education Radiotherapy has entered the 21st century, precise positioning, accurate and precise treatment plans new era. Image guided radiotherapy (IGRT is the continued three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT and intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT radiotherapy after another new technology, is the radiation therapy machine combined with the imaging equipment, each time acquisition-related pre-treatment imaging information to determine treatment target is consistent with the treatment planning target volume [1], and then in the treatment room where through the use of imaging technology to improve radiation dose to the tumor conformal, improve tumor local control and reduce normal tissue complications, thereby improving In 2009 the quality of life of patients 3 months to June, our hospital IGRT treatment of 25 cases, and implemented a full program of health education, and achieved good results and improve the treatment of patients with active participation to meet the psychological and therapeutic needs of patients, all patients were successfully completed radiotherapy. 1 Clinical data 1.1 General Information March 2009 ~ June image guided radiation therapy in 25 cases, including 15 males and 10 females, aged 17 to 80 years, mean age 35.7 years.
