Isocenter is a term commonly used in the fields of radiation therapy and medical imaging. It refers to a specific point in three-dimensional space that serves as the focal point for various types of radiation beams during treatment. In radiation therapy, the isocenter is the point around which the radiation beams are directed for the treatment of tumors. It is critical for ensuring that the targeted area receives the prescribed dose of radiation while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissues.
