Recently published data from two new studies demonstrate the benefits of Accuray’s TomoTherapy System in the delivery of total body irradiation (TBI). TBI is a procedure commonly used to prepare patients being treated for leukemia and multiple myeloma for a bone marrow transplant. It involves irradiation of the entire body, elevating the need for precision, accuracy and homogeneity in radiation dose delivery. The TomoTherapy platform's architecture enables efficient and effective delivery of radiation over large areas of the patient, making it a valuable part of the bone marrow transplantation conditioning regimen.
