TomoTherapy's Advantages

The TomoTherapy Hi·Art System® has been designed to advance the goals of more accurate treatment with fewer side effects. How does the Tomo™ Process help accomplish this?

Precise Planning
The TomoTherapy Hi·Art System® uses a treatment planning optimizer, which is easier to use than conventional treatment planning systems.

Precise Positioning
The TomoTherapy Hi·Art System® uses special verification CT to confirm the position of the patient's tumor before each treatment fraction, so the clinician can adjust the plan on the spot to make sure the radiation is directed right where it should be.

Precise Delivery
While conventional radiotherapy delivers a wide beam of radiation from just two or three directions, the TomoTherapy Hi·Art System® combines sophisticated IMRT with spiral delivery. So the desired radiation gets concentrated on the tumor, and less radiation gets deposited on surrounding healthy tissue.

System Integration
The TomoTherapy Hi·Art System® is an all-in-one system that eliminates the need for a simulator, separate treatment planning computers, block cutting and compensator molding facility, and portal imaging systems.
