2. Treatment area: Tomo knife can treat tumors in all parts of the body, while radio wave knife can irradiate lesions in all parts of the body, and there is no difference between the two.
3. The treatment course, tomo knife treatment course is long, it takes about two months, in 6-7 weeks time, the patient is irradiated 30-35 times, each time 2Gy treatment course is short; radio wave knife greatly shortens the time needed for the treatment, only half an hour / day, the doctor gives the patient 1-5 irradiation, each time can be given to the 30-80Gy
4. The angle of incidence, tomo knife radio source at a fixed distance along the patient's longitudinal axis as a helix
4. Fixed distance along the patient's longitudinal axis for spiral arc irradiation, the shape of the complex tumor irradiation of the shape is poor, adjacent normal tissue protection is insufficient. The radio-wave knife source can be used to irradiate the tumor at the optimal distance and angle according to the computer, which can obtain the optimal conformality and the protection of the adjacent normal tissues.
5. Large field irradiation, tomo knife is suitable for large field irradiation, such as total bone marrow irradiation, total cerebral spinal canal irradiation, etc. However, it accounts for a very small number of all radiotherapy patients. And radio wave knife has certain indications, the tumor is too big (more than 8cm) will affect the treatment effect.
For tomo radiotherapy and radio wave knife radiotherapy difference, the above has a more detailed introduction, but the patient's specific treatment plan, or consult a professional doctor is more reliable, more radiotherapy treatment of cancer, you can click to start a conversation or call the consulting phone number to communicate with radiotherapy experts.
