HIGHER THROUGHPUT
Treat consistently and rapidly—accommodating cases of varying complexity and tumor type, size and location—due to the fundamental design and familiar software of the Novalis Tx™ radiosurgery platform. Reach more patients by performing thousands of treatments annually, while perfectly leveraging internal resources.
EXPANDED TREATMENT PROTOCOLS
Key complementary technologies and capabilities, from imaging to delivery, are fully embedded into the Novalis Tx radiosurgery platform. Such careful integration is rapidly becoming recognized as the perfect fusion of many standard radiation systems on the market. Experience freedom in implementing existing, and designing future, treatment protocols with the versatile Novalis Tx radiosurgery platform.
IIMPROVED PATIENT COMFORT
Novalis Tx radiosurgery shaped-beam technology is fast and flexible, making it the benchmark in patient comfort. Treatments last only minutes, so patients can more easily tolerate the frameless, custom-fit stereotactic mask, as compared to being locked in invasive head rings for extended procedures. Every minute counts - for patients as well as hospitals.
Frameless Radiosurgery
Frameless stereotactic radiosurgery is replacing frame-based treatments as the standard of care. The intuitive software and tools offered with the Novalis Tx radiosurgery platform provide better treatments at equivalent accuracy, faster treatment delivery, more flexible treatment scheduling and a higher level of patient comfort. A wide variety of fractionation schemes are possible to accommodate cases of varying complexity and tumor type, size and location.
- CT localizer for sub-millimeter accuracy
- Verification of target position at all treatment angles before and during treatment
- Fast functional treatment with 1000 MU/minute dose rate
- Treatment of a variety of intra-cranial targets supported by specific software tools
- 6D robotic couch for image-guided patient positioning
- Total treatment time as low as 15 minutes
Spine Radiosurgery
Spine radiosurgery offers the capability to treat a variety of indications, including inoperable tumors. High-definition beam shaping with the Novalis Tx radiosurgery platform dynamically conforms the treatment beam to even the most complex lesions. As the only combined room- and gantry-based imaging solution available, the Novalis Tx radiosurgery platform delivers precise patient positioning for both intra- and extra-cranial targets.
- Localization without implanted fiducials
- Precise multi-modality image fusion for selected target region
- Flexible patient positioning
- The only complementary 2D-stereo x-ray and Cone Beam CT imaging for high-precision patient positioning
- Total treatment time as low as 20 minutes
Lung SBRT
Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) for early-stage lung cancer is becoming the standard of care. Novalis radiosurgery software tools and accurate dose calculations allow for better targeting of tumors, while providing motion management for precise dose delivery. The lung gating technique pauses radiation delivery until the tumor is in the optimal position, sparing normal tissue.
- 4D CT data integration with advanced elastic morphing for automatic ITV contouring
- Precise Monte Carlo dose calculations
- Daily internal adaptation of patient breathing cycle
- Real-time detection and compensation of tumor motion
- Total treatment time as low as 15 minutes
Prostate Radiotherapy
Drive clinical efficiency and outcomes in prostate radiotherapy with the Novalis Tx radiosurgery platform. Real-time image guidance, combined with Cone Beam CT soft tissue localization, can improve throughput and control setup quality. Image prostate patients during treatment delivery to increase confidence that the target area is covered and to help avoid organs at risk.
- Flexibility to choose between a variety of treatment protocols
- Real-time intra-fraction motion detection
- Cone Beam CT soft tissue localization
- Total treatment time as low as 12 minutes
