Advanced radiotherapy treatments, such as intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), helical tomotherapy, stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), robotic radiotherapy, and proton beam radiation therapy, have been developed as a result of recent developments in imaging. Higher doses of radiation could be delivered to the tumor while normal surrounding tissues are spared if imaging is used properly. In this paper, we examine the specific advancements for each technology and assess their usefulness based on the researcher's study's performance and data. X-rays produce images of internal tissues, bones, and organs on film or digital media by using invisible electromagnetic energy beams. Standard X-rays are used for a variety of purposes, including the diagnosis of cancers and bone injuries. X-rays are commonly used in cancer treatment and clinical diagnosis devices for medical radiography. Other diagnostic methods that involve X-ray technology include mammography, computed tomography (CT) scans and fluoroscopy. Radiation from diagnostic imaging modalities are minor contributors to the cumulative dose exposures of healthcare staff. On the other hand, any radiation exposure poses a risk to both patients and medical staff. Radiation protection aims to lessen the unfortunate consequences of ionizing radiation by lessen redundant radiation exposure. These breakthroughs have the potential to improve clinical results and lessen long-term radiation-related toxicity. Also, show how current advancements in imaging and radiotherapy delivery can be coupled to determine the future of precision radiation oncology. In addition, based on numerous features, several problems in the employment of sophisticated technology are mentioned.
