Radiation therapy firm TomoTherapy has won a deal to install its Hi-Art radiation therapy system at a Saudi Arabian hospital.
The Madison, WI, company will install the unit at King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre in Riyadh. The deal marks the company's first Hi-Art installation in the Middle East.
Hi-Art allows clinicians to acquire a CT image of the patient immediately before daily treatment to help ensure accuracy. Then, using the same equipment as used in imaging, the treatment team can deliver radiation in a continuous, 360° (helical) pattern.
