What is Radixact Tomotherapy?
Radixact Tomotherapy represents one of the most advanced evolutions in modern radiation therapy. Unlike traditional radiotherapy machines that deliver radiation from fixed angles, Radixact works in a continuous helical (spiral) motion around the patient. This design allows doctors to deliver highly conformal radiation doses that perfectly match the shape of the tumor — wherever it lies in the body.
What truly sets Radixact apart is its ability to combine precision, adaptability, and comfort. Every treatment session is guided by integrated imaging, so radiation is directed exactly where it’s needed while minimizing exposure to nearby healthy tissues. Even complex or hard-to-reach cancers — in the lungs, pancreas, liver, or spine — can be treated with remarkable accuracy and fewer side effects.
At TGH Onco-Life Cancer Centre, Talegaon, this breakthrough technology is now available, reaffirming the hospital’s commitment to bringing world-class, patient-centric cancer care to Maharashtra.
Understanding Synchrony Technology and Its Real-Time Tracking Power
The Synchrony technology within Radixact Tomotherapy is what gives it real-time adaptability — a critical advantage in treating tumors that move with breathing or natural body motion.
During each session, Synchrony continuously tracks the position of the tumor using live imaging. If the tumor shifts, even by a few millimeters, the system instantly adjusts the beam’s path to stay locked on target. This dynamic coordination ensures that radiation is concentrated on the cancer — not the healthy tissue around it.
This motion-adaptive precision allows patients to breathe naturally throughout treatment without compromising accuracy, eliminating the need for uncomfortable breath-holding or immobilization techniques used in older systems.
How Synchrony Tracks Tumor Motion
Synchrony’s tracking system operates through continuous image guidance and, in certain cases, tiny gold or fiducial markers placed near the tumor. These markers act as visual anchors, helping the system identify the tumor’s exact position at any moment.
For many cancers, especially those in the lungs or abdomen, Synchrony can even perform markerless tracking by using sophisticated onboard X-ray and camera-based imaging. This flexibility enables safer and more patient-friendly treatments, reducing the invasiveness often required for high-precision radiotherapy.
The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Radixact Synchrony
Artificial intelligence lies at the heart of the Synchrony system. Throughout treatment, AI algorithms continuously analyze the tumor’s movement patterns, creating a personalized motion model unique to each patient.
As the patient breathes, the AI predicts how and where the tumor will move in the next instant — allowing the system to proactively reposition the radiation beam. This predictive correction happens in real time, thousands of times during a single session, ensuring accuracy even when the tumor does not stay still.
By merging AI-powered prediction with adaptive imaging, Radixact Synchrony achieves an unmatched level of precision. It maximizes tumor control, minimizes side effects, and shortens treatment time — offering patients a smoother, more confident journey through radiotherapy.
How Tomotherapy Works
Tomotherapy in Maharashtra uses a ring gantry that rotates around the patient to deliver intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) from 360 degrees. This allows the radiation dose to conform closely to the shape of the tumor while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissue.
Synchrony adds an additional layer of precision by continuously tracking the tumor’s motion in real time using implanted markers or other imaging techniques. It then synchronizes the radiation beam with the tumor motion, adjusting the beam angle and shape to stay locked onto the target as it moves with breathing or other physiological motion.
Benefits of Radixact Tomotherapy with Synchrony
This enables very focused dose delivery that maximizes radiation to the tumor while protecting adjacent organs. Treatment with Tomotherapy in Maharashtra is ideal for tumors that move with respiration, such as lung, liver, and pancreatic cancers. It helps mitigate the tumor motion that can compromise precision and require larger treatment margins with conventional radiation therapy. The combination of highly conformal 360-degree radiation delivery and real-time motion tracking provides an unparalleled level of targeting accuracy and precision with Radixact Tomotherapy and Synchrony.
Radixact Synchrony vs Traditional Tomotherapy: Understanding the Leap Forward in Cancer Treatment
When it comes to radiation therapy, precision isn’t just a matter of technology — it’s a matter of trust, safety, and healing.
Both Radixact and Tomotherapy come from the same family of innovative treatment systems, but Radixact Synchrony takes that legacy a major step ahead by combining real-time motion tracking with intelligent adaptability.

Why Radixact Synchrony Feels Like the Future of Radiotherapy
What makes Radixact Synchrony truly remarkable is its ability to “breathe with the patient.”
Instead of treating the body as a still frame, the system treats it as a living, moving canvas. Its AI-driven Synchrony module constantly monitors tumor motion — predicting its next movement and adjusting the radiation beam in milliseconds.
For patients, that translates into fewer sessions, reduced fatigue, and far greater confidence that only the tumor is being targeted. Treatments that once demanded breath-holding or uncomfortable body molds now happen with natural breathing and gentle precision.
This harmony between technology and biology makes Radixact Synchrony especially powerful for cancers of the lungs, abdomen, and chest, where motion is used to limit treatment options. Each session becomes a finely tuned balance of science and compassion — focused on curing, not complicating.
