Deep Inspiration Breath Hold (DIBH) is a technique for left-sided breast cancer patients that reduces the potential impact of radiation on the heart.

External beam radiation therapy (EBRT) is a type of radiation therapy that uses one or more beams to deliver high energy x-rays to a cancerous tumour.

Intensity modulated radiation therapy [IMRT] is high precision radiation therapy that delivers high dose radiation to cancerous tumours, while limiting impact on healthy surrounding tissue.

Image guided radiation therapy (IGRT) is a radiation therapy technique that utilises the most advanced imaging equipment and computer software.

Volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) involves the use of external radiation therapy beams being directed in a series of arcs or angles to allow for greater access to a cancerous tumour.

Brachytherapy is a special form of internal radiation therapy where a radioactive source is placed beside or inside the tumour, to deliver radiation to small areas over a period of time.
