What we do<\/div>\n
Image-guided intensity-modulated radiation therapy using TomoTherapy<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n
Purpose<\/div>\n
Precise radiation delivery while minimizing exposure to surrounding organs<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n
Indication<\/div>\n
Selected cases based on tumor characteristics and treatment planning<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

TomoTherapy is an advanced form of radiation therapy that combines
\n intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) with integrated image guidance.
\n It allows highly precise radiation delivery by continuously adjusting the beam
\n according to tumor shape and position.<\/p>\n

What is TomoTherapy?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n

TomoTherapy is a radiation therapy system that delivers radiation in a helical (spiral) pattern
\n while the patient moves through the machine. Built-in imaging before each treatment session
\n helps confirm tumor position and supports accurate targeting.<\/p>\n

This approach may be beneficial in situations where precise dose distribution is required
\n or when surrounding organs must be carefully protected.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

When TomoTherapy may be considered<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n

TomoTherapy is not used for all patients requiring radiation therapy.
\n It may be considered in selected cases after clinical evaluation.<\/p>\n
