Tomotherapy is a specialized form of radiation therapy used in the treatment of cancer. It combines intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) with computed tomography (CT) imaging to deliver precise and targeted radiation to tumors.
Unlike traditional radiation therapy techniques, Tomotherapy allows for the delivery of radiation from multiple angles, which helps to spare healthy tissues and minimize side effects. The CT imaging component also enables real-time visualization of the tumor, allowing for adjustments to be made during treatment if necessary.
Overall, Tomotherapy offers a highly precise and personalized approach to radiation therapy, making it an effective treatment option for various types of cancer.
Benefits of Tomotherapy
- Precise and targeted radiation delivery
- Minimizes damage to healthy tissues
- Real-time visualization of tumors
- Allows for adjustments during treatment
- Effective treatment options for various types of cancer
Five Key Points that Differentiate Tomotherapy with the usual Radiation Therapy
- Highly precise against cancer cells: The Radixact Tomotherapy uses highly precise MVCT scan tool which is mounted on the machine for high definition guidance of radiation to the tumor (High Definition IGRT.
- Radixact Tomotherapy uses PRECISIONTM planning to not only spare the surrounding normal tissues but also to spare any normal tissues inside the spread of the cancer cells
- Radixact Tomotherapy uses PRECISION ARTTM to adapt the radiation dose to change of the patient’s shape and the changing shape and size of the tumor throughout radiation therapy course to spare the normal cells of harmful radiation
- When repeat radiotherapy is required for a patient, Radixact Tomotherapy aids the doctor to do it with ease using advanced PreciseRTX™ which helps avoid uncertainties and deliver safe radiotherapy.
- Radixact Tomotherapy offers fast and precise treatment even over large radiotherapy fields due to its continuous couch motion with rotating gantrys
