Abstract
According an implementation in clinic practice new stereotactic and modulated methods, hadrontherapy, which significantly upgrade the precise of dose delivery, the optimization of radiotherapy planning is especially important. In review the role of modern methods of visualization in all stages of radiation therapy – simulation, planning, dose delivery monitoring and assessment therapeutic effect was revealed. The usefulness of wide using of the morphological and functional methods of MRI, PET/CT with metabolic and receptor markers, ultrasonography, which can upgrade precision of a radiation therapy planning and improve a monitoring of therapeutic processes, was showed.
Key words: radiation therapy planning, magnetic resonance imaging, positron emission tomography, computed tomography.
