 RECOGNIZED
AS A national leader in cancer care, the U.Va.
Health System has acquired a $2.7 million state-of-the-art
cancer treatment system. U.Va. is the first
medical center in the Commonwealth to use the
TomoTherapy Hi-Art System, a revolutionary
cancer treatment that uses 3-D imaging to more
precisely pinpoint tumors and administer
radiation, limiting damage to surrounding
healthy tissue. Another advantage for patients
is reduced treatment time. Full
