Tomotherapy is a form of radiation therapy used in Nuclear Medicine and Radiopharmacology. It is a type of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) that uses a linear accelerator to deliver radiation in a helical pattern. The radiation is delivered in a spiral pattern around the patient, allowing for more precise targeting of the tumor while minimizing the radiation dose to surrounding healthy tissue. Tomotherapy is used to treat a variety of cancers, including prostate, breast, and lung cancer. Tomotherapy is a relatively new technology, but it has become increasingly popular in recent years due to its ability to deliver more precise radiation doses. It is also used in combination with other treatments, such as chemotherapy and surgery, to provide a more comprehensive approach to cancer treatment. Some companies in the Tomotherapy market include Varian Medical Systems, Elekta, Accuray, and Brainlab. Show Less Read more
