What is the Helical Tomotherapy SystemTOMO(also known as TOMO Knife)?
The hospital introduced|the helical tomotherapy systemTOMOwhich integratesIMRT(Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy)、IGRT(Image-Guided Radiation Therapy)、DGRT(Dose-Guided Radiation Therapy)into one system. Its innovative design seamlessly combines a linear accelerator with helical CT, breaking through many limitations of traditional accelerators. Under CT guidance, it delivers 360-degree focused tomographic irradiation to tumors, providing efficient and precise treatment for malignant tumor patients.
TOMOSystem Indications
TOMOsystem has a broad treatment range, suitable for nearly all tumor sites throughout the body, especially complex tumors or those adjacent to critical:tissues and organs. Intracranial tumors: pituitary tumors, acoustic neuromas, meningiomas, hemangiomas; Common primary tumors: liver cancer, lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, metastatic cancer; Complex head and neck tumors: salivary glands, ears, eyes, oral cavity, tongue, pharynx; Hematopoietic system diseases: leukemia, malignant lymphoma
TOMOSystem Advantages
1. Concentrated Irradiation
TOMOImaging precision reaches +/-0.1mm. The CT-source imaging system has dose calculation and verification functions, ensuring dual high precision in both positioning and dosing for patient treatment plans.
2. Survival Rate
Clinical summaries from multiple hospitals at home and abroad have confirmed that:compared with previous radiotherapy methods, helical tomotherapy:shows a significant increase in patient survival rates, with markedly reduced radiation reactions and complications.
3.Simplifying complexity1single-session irradiation
TOMOis the nemesis of complex and challenging tumors, capable of irradiating multiple tumor lesions in a single session, reducing the risk of repeated irradiation of normal tissue caused by complex treatment planning, and helping to protect vital organs.
4.Broad application
因TOMOWith its special design and functions, it has broad clinical applications. It can treat in cancer mortalitytumors located in any part in cancer mortalityof the body, with indications covering nearly all cases suitable for radiotherapy, especially intensity-modulated radiation therapy cases.
5.Cost-effective
This system can maximize patient survival rates while reducing complication rates, thereby saving patients potential treatment costs.
