Thanks. I did read the article (web site) you posted. The I is not internal but Intensity and M is modulated.

Mayo Jacksonville uses SBRT photon radiation for PC. They are building new cancer center that will open in 2026 that will have proton radiation. I chose to have my radiation done at UFHPTI because Mayo Jacksonville could only offer photon.

The IMRT sounds really new and substantial upgrade on radiation treatments. I see it can be done with both photon and proton radiation is that correct?
