Conventional radiation treatment devices are at the end of an evolutionary path that began more than a century ago. The TomoTherapy® Hi·Art® treatment system, in contrast, was designed in the 1990s. Our goal was to develop a machine that could turn advanced, optimized radiation treatment concepts into reality.
The Hi·Art treatment system:
- Looks like a CT scanner because it is a CT scanner, allowing efficient 3D CT imaging to be used for ensuring the accuracy of treatment for every patient, every day™
- Leverages the ring gantry geometry used in CT scanning for the delivery of state-of-the-art, intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) from all angles around the patient
- Was designed so that highly-precise treatment plans could result in more effective treatment deliveries, with minimized side effects for patients
