MADISON, Wis – March 27, 2008 – TomoTherapy Incorporated (NASDAQ: TOMO) announced today plans to install its advanced radiation therapy system at the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Veterinary Medicine. Upon completion of installation, this will be the first TomoTherapy® Hi·Art® treatment system in the world to be used for veterinary medicine.
Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle recently signed a bill that authorizes construction of a new school wing, where the Hi·Art treatment system will be installed. The goal is for construction to begin in the fall of 2008, with treatments starting in late 2009 or early 2010.
The technology has come full circle. The UW-Madison School of Veterinary Medicine was involved with the first TomoTherapy SM clinical trials, which involved treating pet dogs with nasal tumors (especially sensitive to treat because they are close to the dog’s eyes and brain).
