Conventional radiation therapy machines use 5-9 beam angles, and were developed for 2D and 3D conformal therapy. The Hi·Art treatment system delivers radiation continuously from all angles around the patient, and features patented beam-shaping technology created specifically for IMRT. More beam angles, plus more precise beam modulation, creates dose distributions that conform to complex tumor shapes like never before.
The Hi·Art treatment system:
- Delivers helical (continuous 360º) IMRT that uses tens of thousands of narrow beamlets, all targeting the tumor and individually-optimized to contribute to the total tumor dose
- Offers by far the most beamlets of any form of IMRT, which translates to the most precise conformal radiotherapy available
