A first in Kansas City – combines the accuracy of CT scanning with targeted radiation delivery in a single machine. |
A Leader in Emerging Cancer Technologies
Traditional radiation therapies can project radiation onto a tumor from only a few directions, often in a pattern that can adversely involve healthy tissue. TomoTherapy® combines the accuracy of CT scanning technology with advanced radiation delivery in a single machine. The unique helical delivery allows the care team to sculpt small, powerful radiation beams to precisely target hard-to-reach tumors from 360-degrees.
• Confirm position of the tumor before treatment begins
• Reduce radiation exposure to surrounding healthy tissue, reducing side effects
• Ideal for cases where tumors are close to critical structures (head & neck, prostate, intra-cranial, para-spinal) and for many pediatric casesaccuracy of CT scanning technology with advanced radiation delivery in a single machine. The unique helical delivery allows the care team to sculpt small, powerful radiation beams to precisely target hard-to-reach tumors from 360-degrees.
