Rapid developments in technology will have a profound effect on veterinary radiation oncology. These developments include computer-enhanced, three-dimensional treatment planning and smaller, more compact, more reliable radiation equipment, primarily linear accelerators. For treatment of all veterinary patients, the linear accelerators need electron capability. Although fractionated therapy will remain the standard from of treatment, new modalities, including a highly precise single-dose treatment called radiosurgery, and a precise fractionated therapy called conformal therapy, will be utilized more in the future.
技术的快速发展将对兽医放射肿瘤学产生深远影响。这些发展包括计算机增强的三维治疗计划以及更小、更紧凑、更可靠的放射设备，主要是直线加速器。对于所有兽医患者的治疗，直线加速器需要具备电子功能。尽管分次治疗仍将是标准的治疗方式，但包括称为放射外科的高精度单次剂量治疗以及称为适形治疗的精确分次治疗在内的新方法，未来将得到更广泛的应用。
