Susan,

My facility had brand new IG-IMRT machines. They also had a Tomo machine. My RO and the two other second opinions I received preferred the IMRT. I looked into the Tomo and asked about it and they said that they preferred the IMRT to Tomo because it was more versatile (not sure what that means)

I got the feeling that they preferred the IMRT because they just bought them (did they need to pay down that cost?). I might be wrong on that. I was very interested in the Tomo because it is said to have more aiming spots and thus less tissue damage. My RO said this was not the case.

I would be very interested in what Sloan has to say about this issue, as I was never fully convinced that IG-IMRT was better than Tomo. Please post and let me know their opinion.

BTW I know that I am now post treatment and this is just curiosity. I also know that my case is not the same as your husbands, and my results are great so far so no complaints but still curious.
