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 tumors while minimizing radiation exposure to surrounding healthy tissues.
At Dr. Charu Garg's Radiation Oncology practice, 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, tumor 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.
Delivers radiation in a continuous spiral pattern, allowing highly conformal treatment around the tumor.
CT imaging before every treatment session verifies tumor position and improves treatment accuracy.
The 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 tumor and surrounding healthy tissues before treatment begins.
The treatment workflow includes:
Before each session, onboard CT imaging confirms the exact tumor position, allowing radiation to be delivered with exceptional precision while protecting nearby healthy tissues.
Tomotherapy combines advanced IMRT and IGRT technologies to deliver highly precise radiation treatment. With daily CT image guidance and helical radiation delivery, it maximizes tumor targeting while protecting surrounding healthy tissues, making it an ideal option for complex cancer treatments.
Delivers radiation with exceptional precision while minimizing exposure to healthy tissues.
Uses onboard CT imaging before every session to verify accurate tumor positioning.
Advanced planning ensures radiation is focused directly on the tumor.
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 tumor and anatomy.
Ideal for treating complex and irregular-shaped tumors 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 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.
Tomotherapy is used to treat a wide range of cancers, including breast, lung, prostate, brain, head & neck, gynecological, gastrointestinal, pediatric, and spine tumors.
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 tumor while protecting healthy organs, many patients experience fewer radiation-related side effects compared with conventional radiation techniques.
