Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is a radiation therapy technique that uses computer-controlled linear accelerators to deliver precise radiation doses to a tumor. It was first developed by Mackie and colleagues in 1986. IMRT is commonly used to treat prostate cancer, head and neck cancer, and brain tumors.
