Tomotherapy is one of the most advanced forms of Image-Guided Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IG-IMRT). It combines high-precision radiation delivery with built-in CT imaging, allowing radiation oncologists to accurately target tumours while minimizing radiation exposure to surrounding healthy tissues.
At Dr. Charu Garg’s Radiation Oncology practice in South Delhi, Tomotherapy is used to deliver personalized, image-guided cancer treatment with exceptional precision. Every treatment plan is carefully designed according to the patient’s diagnosis, tumour location and overall health to ensure safe and effective outcomes.
Tomotherapy is an advanced radiation therapy technology that integrates Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) with Image Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT) into a single treatment system.
It delivers radiation in a continuous spiral (helical) pattern, allowing highly conformal treatment around the tumour, while onboard CT imaging performed before every session verifies tumour position and improves treatment accuracy.
Delivers radiation in a continuous 360-degree spiral pattern, enabling exceptional dose conformity around complex tumours.
Integrated CT imaging immediately before every session confirms precise tumour position and accounts for daily internal shifts.
Treatment begins with a comprehensive planning process using CT simulation and, when required, MRI or PET-CT scans. These detailed images help the radiation oncology team accurately identify the tumour and surrounding healthy tissues before treatment begins.
The treatment workflow includes:
Before each session, onboard CT imaging confirms the exact tumour position, allowing radiation to be delivered with exceptional precision while protecting nearby healthy tissues for patients across South Delhi.
Tomotherapy combines advanced IMRT and IGRT technologies to deliver highly conformal radiation treatment while safeguarding surrounding organs and vital tissues.
Delivers radiation with exceptional precision while minimizing exposure to healthy tissues.
Uses onboard CT imaging before every session to verify accurate tumour positioning.
Advanced planning ensures radiation is focused directly on the tumour contour.
Reduces unnecessary radiation exposure to nearby healthy tissues and critical organs.
Improved treatment accuracy helps lower the risk of treatment-related side effects.
Each treatment plan is customized according to the patient’s tumour and anatomy.
Ideal for treating complex and irregular-shaped tumours located near vital organs.
Provides highly conformal dose distribution for improved treatment effectiveness.
Non-invasive treatment with enhanced safety, comfort and consistent treatment accuracy.
Dr. Charu Garg’s South Delhi practice uses Tomotherapy to treat a comprehensive range of complex, localized, and multi-site tumours:
Dr. Charu Garg is a highly experienced Radiation Oncologist with over 25+ years of expertise in advanced radiation therapy. She provides personalized, evidence-based treatment using the latest radiation technologies to achieve the best possible outcomes for every patient.
Consulting from Max Smart Hospital and Max Saket East Block, both in Saket, patients from across South Delhi consult Dr. Garg at her Saket clinic to understand whether Tomotherapy is the right treatment option for their tumour.
Tomotherapy is used to treat a wide range of cancers, including breast, lung, prostate, brain, head & neck, gynecological, gastrointestinal, pediatric and spine tumours.
Tomotherapy combines IMRT with daily CT image guidance, allowing radiation to be delivered more accurately while protecting surrounding healthy tissues.
No. Tomotherapy is completely painless. Patients do not feel the radiation during treatment.
Most treatment sessions take approximately 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the type and location of the cancer.
Yes. Because Tomotherapy precisely targets the tumour while protecting healthy organs, many patients experience fewer radiation-related side effects compared with conventional radiation techniques.
Dr. Charu Garg offers Tomotherapy from Max Smart Hospital and Max Saket East Block, both in Saket, South Delhi, with appointments available online or by phone.
