CT simulation has become one of the most sophisticated tools used in radiation therapy planning. With the use of the CT simulation, the accuracy of radiation therapy is greatly enhanced. CT simulation allows the radiation oncologist to directly visualize a patient's particular anatomy and treat only the targeted tissue while identifying and avoiding critical structures. This greatly reduces unwanted side effects.
