First things first: Welcome to the inaugural issue of The Beamlet. With these always-to-the-point updates, we’ll share vital news and insights concerning the TomoTherapy®Hi·Art® treatment system. What is a beamlet?
New Product Spotlight
We are pleased to announce the full release of Hi·Art Version 2.2.1. Featuring the all-new Planned Adaptive software, this release marks a significant step forward for Adaptive Radiation Therapy (ART).
Gone are the days of ART being limited to just accounting for minor anatomical movements by repositioning the patient. With Planned Adaptive, clinicians can—for the first time—perform highly efficient quantitative analysis and modification of a patient’s treatment at any point during the treatment course. Only the inherent integration of the Hi·Art System makes this clinically feasible:
- Our single database stores information from both planning and delivery, making it easy to create and utilize “hot” and “cold” dose structures.
- The MVCT images used for daily registration yield highly accurate density information that’s well-suited for treatment planning, while our robust dose isolation tools are designed to streamline the re-optimization process.
- Our precise dose computation algorithm helps ensure dose accuracy throughout the treatment process.
Quite simply, with Planned Adaptive, the original DVH can now remain intact from the first treatment to the last.

Beyond Planned Adaptive, Version 2.2.1 includes a number of Hi·Art system uptime and workflow enhancements. Contact us for details.
Please note: The purchase of Planned Adaptive software automatically includes Version 2.2.1 updates. However, Version 2.2.1 updates can also be implemented independently of Planned Adaptive purchase.
