Megavoltage Imaging

Megavoltage Imaging is a type of image-guided radiotherapy technique that utilizes high-energy X-rays in the megavoltage range, generated by linear accelerators, to visualize patient anatomy for treatment localization and position verification during radiation therapy, distinguished from kilovoltage imaging by its superior penetration through dense tissues and integration with therapeutic radiation beams.
