Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital Introduces First-in-Asia TomoHD System

Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital (HKSH) announces today the introduction of the first-in-Asia TomoHD system. With a plan to install another TomoHD system in May this year, HKSH is becoming the first and only treatment centre in the world equipped with two TomoHD systems, with the mission to provide quality treatment for more cancer patients.

     

In 2005, HKSH pioneered to introduce the first-in-Asia TomoTherapy treatment system, which combines image-guided radiation therapy and intensity-modulated radiation therapy. In 2009, HKSH embraced the second-generation TomoTherapy Hi•Art system, which provides more precise 3D image guidance and ensures a greater precision and accuracy, thereby substantially reducing the risk of adverse effects. After six years of clinical application and research studies, HKSH decided to install the state-of-the-art first-in-Asia TomoHD treatment system, as a continuous effort to raise and maintain the high standard of quality cancer care in Hong Kong.
