What is Tomo Therapy?
Tomo Therapy combines an advanced form of intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), with the accuracy of computed tomography (CT) scanning technology, all in one machine.
With this advanced technology, we can sculpt powerful and precise radiation beams to treat hard-to-reach tumors. Using built-in CT scanning to confirm the shape and position of the tumor before each treatment, TomoTherapy reduces radiation exposure to healthy tissues and organs.
How it works
Before every treatment, advanced scanning technology provides a 3D image of the treatment area, so the radiation beams can be targeted according to the size, shape and location of the tumor(s) on that specific day. During treatment, we can adjust the intensity and direction of the radiation beams in real time. The revolutionary “slice therapy” approach treats tumors one layer at a time. Side effects are often minimized because less radiation reaches healthy tissues and organs.
Many cancer patients who have reached their maximum tolerance dose of traditional radiation may be a candidate for Tomo Therapy radiation.
Orthopedics and Traumatology departments of BARA Healthcare incorporate several medical subspecialties. Each of these subspecialties requires broad experience and utilization of various techniques.
Based on this treatment approach, services offered by Orthopedics and Traumatology departments of BARA Healthcare comprise multi-disciplinary cooperation among a number of medical specialties.
