TomoTherapy
For more than 80 years, radiation therapy has been used in cancer care. Through the decades, the primary challenges have remained the same:
- How can doctors be sure the beam is reaching the tumor as planned?
- How can harm to healthy tissue around the tumor be minimized?
With a fresh approach and a new design, the TomoTherapy® Hi·Art® treatment system addresses these needs.
In July of 2003, the first patient was treated on a clinical TomoTherapy Hi·Art treatment system. Today, hundreds of people will begin their own Tomo® treatments at hospitals, clinics and cancer centers worldwide.
The rapid, widespread embrace of the TomoTherapy process is one way to gauge its impact on cancer care. But it is the growing, global community of people served by this technology that’s most important of all.
