| hemibody irradiation | Irradiation of one half or both halves of the body in the treatment of disseminated cancer or widespread metastases. It is used to treat diffuse metastases in one session as opposed to multiple fields over an extended period. The more frequent treatment modalities are upper hemibody irradiation (uhbi) or lower hemibody irradiation (lhbi). Less common is mid-body irradiation (mbi). In the treatment of both halves of the body sequentially, hemibody irradiation permits radiotherapy of the whole body with larger doses of radiation than could be accomplished with whole-body irradiation. It is sometimes called "systemic" hemibody irradiation with reference to its use in widespread cancer or metastases. (p. Rubin et al. Cancer, vol 55, p2210, 1985) (12 Dec 1998) |

| radiotherapy | <oncology> The treatment of disease by ionising radiation. Origin: Gr. Therapeia = cure (18 Nov 1997) |
| radiotherapy, adjuvant | Radiotherapy given to augment some other form of treatment such as surgery or chemotherapy. Adjuvant radiotherapy is commonly used in the therapy of cancer and can be administered before or after the primary treatment. (12 Dec 1998) |
| radiotherapy, computer-assisted | Computer systems or programs used in accurate computations for providing radiation dosage treatment to patients. (12 Dec 1998) |
| radiotherapy dosage | The total amount of radiation absorbed by tissues as a result of radiotherapy. (12 Dec 1998) |
| radiotherapy, high-energy | Radiotherapy using high-energy (megavolt or higher) ionizing radiation. Types of radiation include gamma rays, produced by a radioisotope within a teletherapy unit; X-rays, electrons, protons, alpha particles (helium ions) and heavy charged ions, produced by particle acceleration; and neutrons and pi-mesons (pions), produced as secondary particles following bombardment of a target with a primary particle.

| radiotherapy localization | Planning the size and alignment of radiation beams to encompass the neoplasm to be treated. (05 Mar 2000) |
| radiotherapy planning, computer-assisted | Computer-assisted mathematical calculations of beam angles, intensities of radiation, and duration of irradiation in radiotherapy. (12 Dec 1998) |
