What is Tomotherapy?
How does it help?
Cancer patients who have reached the extreme level to dose are suggested to undergo this therapy.
Tomotherapy is a form of intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), in which the radiation is transported slice-by-slice. The word Tomotherapy has emerged from a Greek prefix – tomo, which means slice.
Tomotherapy is an advanced technology by which powerful and precise radiation beams are continuously produced to treat inoperable tumours. The inbuilt CT scanning helps in confirming the size and position of the tumour prior the treatment.

• The unique 4D kV imaging feature provides 4D volume images of the tumours that are moving. The radiologists can target them precisely without harming the healthy tissues present in the proximity.
• The technology offers non-invasive, internal immobilization of anatomies that are affected by the motion of the body due to respiration via comfortable and simple breath holding techniques.
Intrafraction monitoring continuously updates the affected part which is then targeted by the radiation beams. The beam shaping is performed with the advanced multi-leaf collimator which renders precision and accuracy in the procedure of targeting.
Cancer patients who have reached the extreme level to dose are suggested to undergo this therapy.
