Radiation Oncology is an advanced branch of modern cancer treatment, which is painless, incision-less and preventive. The branch deals with the painless cancer treatment by using the high-dose radioactive rays, also known as X-rays. Radiation Oncology, often abbreviated as RT, RTx or XRT, involves the medical use of ionizing radiation to control or kill malignant cells without inflicting a cut in the body. Different types of cancers including Head & Neck, Uterine, Cervix, Breast, Rectal, Lung and many more are treated under Radiation Oncology.

The state of art Modality PET-CT (Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography) is a type of Nuclear Medicine Imaging. A PET scan uses a small amount of radioactive material called Radiotracers also called Radiopharmaceuticals which measures important body functions, such as cellular metabolism which helps doctors evaluate how well organs and tissues are functioning and may also detect the early onset of disease before other imaging tests can.
CT imaging uses special X-Ray equipment and in some cases contrast material to produce multiple images of the inside of the body. It details about the anatomic information of the body.
PET-CT is a fusion of the PET scans as well as CT scan. This combined scans help pinpoint abnormal metabolic activities and may provide more accurate diagnosis
