IMAGE GUIDED RADIATION THERAPY CODING AND …
IGRT allows radiation oncologists to ensure that the target volume is treated with the planned dose of radiation. Whenever a target volume is located near or within critical structures and/or to further the therapeutic ratio. Such situations include where: target volume is in close proximity to a critical organ at risk.
