Abstract	The TomoTherapy Hi-Art unit (TomoTherapy, Inc., Madison, WI) is able to deliver intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) via a helical trajectory about the patient using a fan beam irradiation geometry (Mackie et al., 1993; Mackie, 2006). Helical radiation delivery is simultaneous with couch translation and gantry rotation and has certain advantages in delivering conformal dose distributions (Zacarias et al., 2006; Mackie et al., 2003; Beavis, 2004; Yang et al., 1997). The American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) recommends that doses to cancer patients need to be carefully designed and verified (Kutcher et al., 1994). Therefore, especially for IMRT, it is common to have in addition to a computer generated treatment planned a patient specific quality assurance (QA) measurement and an independent monitor unit or dose calculation to verify the treatment plan.
