This is live footage of Tomo Therapy radiation cancer treatment. I wanted to film it so patients will know that it doesn’t hurt and can be highly effective.

my friend, a 40 years old man, is undergoing radiation therapy for mouth cancer that was caused by smoking tobacco. this video shows the CLINAC in operation, irradiating the patient’s mouth / neck area. for more details not only about this very radiation treatment and the isodose chart, but also about the story in general, see my flickr photostream: www.flickr.com ps: the video quality is a little low, as i recorded this video in 320×200 resolution to have 30 frames per second… instead of just 20 frames per second in higher resolution. i hoped to get more visible CCD flashes / high-energy photon strikes like that.
