The TomoTherapy Treatment Delivery System with iDMS is indicated for the delivery of radiation therapy, stereotactic radiotherapy or stereotactic radiosurgery to tumors or other targeted tissues anywhere in the body under the direction of a licensed medical practitioner.
An assembly of devices designed to produce high-energy electrons to yield high-energy x-rays used for therapeutic applications, primarily to treat cancer. It provides a uniform radiation field of uniform intensity and predictable energy level, in a beam with well defined dimensions. The principle of operation is linear acceleration of electrons by means of electromagnetic (EM) microwaves. The output is used as a treatment beam on the patient, either directly or after passing a suitable target. The system typically includes signal analysis and display devices, patient and device supports, and software.
