A radiotherapy treatment plan for Accuray’s Tomotherapy system to kill white blood cells prior to a liver cancer patient undergoing a transplant. The treatment is aimed at the bone marrow and spares dose to most of the organs to reduce side effects. This was an example plan created on the new Volvo Ultra treatment planning system. The software allow planning for more than 100 cm of anatomy. It also allows users to drag target dose values of the main graph and the system will recalculate all the doses.
