摘要：
Imageable disruptable capsules containing a sensitizing agent or a protecting agent are used to enhance radiation therapy. Said capsules may be imaged by a non-invasive imaging modality, allowing for the determination of the precise timing to disrupt the capsule and release the sensitizing agent or protecting agent using an external energy source. This controlled and timed release of the sensitizing agent or protecting agent provides for enhanced radiation therapy by optimizing the delivery of the sensitizing agent or protecting agent to the target tissues. Systems comprising non-invasive imaging modalities, external energy sources and radiation energy sources are also taught for use with these imageable disruptable capsules.
