Abdominal Lymph Nodes
Everyone has numerous lymph nodes in the abdomen (stomach area) that eliminate impurities. Lymph nodes grow in inflammation (Crohn’s disease) and cancer (colon cancer, prostate cancer, uterine cancer).

CT Planning for Abdominal Radiation Therapy
What is Computed Tomography (CT)?
Computed Tomography (CT) is a medical imaging technique that uses X-rays to capture detailed images of the body from various angles. These images are then combined to reconstruct three-dimensional “cross-sectional” images of the internal organs and tissues. These high-resolution images are essential for planning radiation therapy with precision.
The Importance of CT in Abdominal Radiation Therapy
Precise Tumor Localization:
CT imaging helps accurately determine the size and location of the tumor, ensuring optimal targeting during radiation therapy.
Protecting Healthy Tissue:
By providing detailed information about surrounding tissues, CT imaging minimizes radiation exposure to healthy tissues near the treatment area.
Customized Treatment Plans:
The detailed imaging allows the physician to design a treatment plan tailored to the individual patient’s characteristics and tumor specifics.
How It Works
Imaging:
Multiple X-ray images are taken from different angles to fully capture the targeted area.
Reconstruction:
These images are processed to create a 3D model that accurately represents the anatomy of the abdomen and the tumor.
Evaluation:
Doctors use the CT scans to determine the appropriate radiation dose and ensure precise tumor targeting.
Safety Standards
- Medical Necessity:
CT imaging is only performed when clinically necessary and after thorough evaluation of the patient’s condition. - Radiation Protection:
The medical team at RadCare adheres to strict radiation protection protocols to ensure patient safety during the procedure.
