What is Tomotherapy HDA?
Tomotherapy HAD is a device that uses active CT image guidance for radiotherapy. It can be used for all types of radiotherapy treatments. This includes treatments for head and neck cancers, mesothelioma, prostate cancer, and more.
The device plans the treatment volume and dose every day. It uses the latest technology for high-resolution 3D CT imaging to help plan the treatment.
Tomotherapy
Tomotherapy HAD can adjust treatment plans as tumors change. It uses small, varying density radiation bundles for precise treatment. This helps protect important tissues and organs.
It can adapt to changes in moving organs. This means it can deliver precise doses to the target area. It also minimizes harm to healthy tissues.

How long does a treatment take in Tomotherapy?
Tomotherapy HAD is great for treating recurrent tumors and those who have had radiotherapy before. It’s suitable for all ages and protects the scalp during treatment.
It uses artificial intelligence and real-time motion tracking. This makes planning and treatment faster. Each treatment session lasts about 15 minutes. It allows patients to move freely during treatment.
