CLINAC ® UPGRADESProtecting your investment from year to yearEvery Varian delivery system is built with an eye toward the futureand how the machine can accommodate new treatment technologies.Upgrade instrumentation protects your capital investment and keepscurrent systems delivering state-of-the-art treatments for years to come.ARIA offline review enables physicians to analyze MV and kV images andprovide instructions to therapists for further treatment refinements.PORTALVISION MV IMAGING SYSTEMPortalVision aS500-II and aS1000 use the latest amorphoussilicon imaging technology to produce the high-quality MVimages needed for accurate patient positioning and tumorlocalization. Our fully retractable Exact arm provides thewidest range of movement, facilitating setup for complextreatment techniques. Image enhancement and processingtools allow clinicians to focus on regions of interest in orderON-BOARD IMAGER kV IMAGING SYSTEMOur On-Board Imager for the high-energy Clinac, Clinac iXand Trilogy linear accelerators is designed to improvethe precision and effectiveness of cancer treatments bygiving clinicians the ability to target and track tumors moreaccurately. The On-Board Imager provides kV imaging attreatment and includes radiographic, fluoroscopic andoptional cone-beam CT image acquisition and patientMULTILEAF COLLIMATORSWith the Millennium 120-leaf MLC, Varian brings a new levelof resolution to full-field beam shaping. The 120-leaf MLCfeatures a full 40 x 40 cm 2 field and is the first MLC for generalclinical use that offers 0.5 cm resolution for high precisiontreatment of small and irregular fields. The Millennium MLC isalso available in an 80-leaf configuration.SONARRAY 3D ULTRASOUND PATIENT POSITIONING SYSTEMThe SonArray module is an advanced, high-precisionpatient-positioning platform designed for IMRT radiationtherapy. SonArray integrates infrared SRS/SRT optical trackingdevices with 3D ultrasound reconstruction technology toposition the patient so that for each fraction, the internaltarget is precisely at isocenter.to make delivery verification fast and easy.repositioning applications.STEREOTACTIC RADIOSURGERYSMARTBEAM IMRTThe Clinac iX is available with a special-proceduresSmartBeam components, including Millennium MLC,stereotactic dose rate of 800 MU/min at 6-MV for field sizesDynamic MLC, Auto Field Sequencing, and Argus IMRT,up to 15 cm x 15 cm. This mode produces a 6-MV beam wellsupport all types of IMRT delivery: segmental, dynamic,matched to the conventional 6-MV full-field beam whichcombined dynamic and segmental in the same field, andmakes for easier commissioning.
