Cancer can’t hide from TomoTherapy. TomoTherapy Hi-Art treatment system calculates the appropriate pattern, position and intensity of the radiation beamlets to be delivered based on the doctor’s prescribed dose. Although dosage will vary depending on the type and location of the tumor, TomoTherapy treatment typically involves a daily application of radiation for several weeks.
Benefits of TomoTherapy:
- Unparalleled precision and accuracy
- Less damage to healthy tissue
- Shorter recovery times – quicker return to normal routine
- Multi-disciplinary team approach to fighting cancer
- Soothing, patient-focused environment

Having a TomoTherapy treatment is similar to having a CT scan or X-ray. Upon arriving at the Center, the patient is taken to the TomoTherapy treatment room, where a radiation therapist helps the patient onto a platform on the Hi-Art system known as the couch.
The couch moves through the machine once to activate the CTrue imaging, which enables the radiation therapist to fine-tune the patient’s position by making small couch adjustments. The couch moves through a second time, more slowly, as the system delivers the daily treatment.
The end results – targeted radiation beams from which cancer can’t hide, fewer side effects and minimal damage to surrounding tissue. |
