Megavoltage Ct Imaging Unlocks Fossil Mysteries

There is using novel radiotherapy technology cold helical tom therapy. The marriage of tow technology computerized tomography cal CT scanner and a radiotherapy linear accelerator James Welsh, associate professor of medical physics and human oncology at the University Of Wisconsin School Of Medicine and Public Health, and a group of colleagues have created images of fossil specimen of various types and ages.

They have Tom Therapy that is a Hi Art radio shin machine developed at the Universidad of Wisconsin–Madison. They have a new treat for cancer patients with intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). The CT component provides the place where the tumour is so the doctor knows each day how to do the treatment by this he a void killing health cells. The Hi Art is rotating a round the object or a human. It doesn’t harm healthy tissue and delivering narrow, potent and precise doses of radiation to tumours. That process takes about 15 to 25 minutes. "I was fortunate to be the first MD to ever treat a patient with this technology," Welsh say. "I suspect these are the world's first megavoltage CT images of rocks and fossils from such a unit."

The use of this new technology has shown them new treats for cancer. Tom Therapy should be expecting competitors. There are about only 30 medical facilities using this technology. This is expecting to change in Varian Medical System. Elate in Sweden offers these images to.
