Varian’s SmartBeam IMRT quickly “paints”the tumor with ultrafine, 2.5 by 5 mmresolution. The result is treatment that’smore efficient and has fewer complications,which is better for the patient and better forthe facility.“kV imaging has significantly improved ourability to accurately deliver high doses ofradiation to targets using highly conformalIMRT techniques.”Yoshia (Josh) Yamada, MDMemorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center,New York, NYTARGETED TREATMENTSThe right placeDelivering the dose to the right place is a function of our manyindustry-leading hardware and software technologies workingin concert. These innovations include the highest resolutionmultileaf collimator; the most capable dynamic control software; thebest treatment plan for driving delivery; and the most precise beamcontrol. Only Varian machines provide clinicians with the ability to useall three major IMRT methods—sliding window, step and shoot anddynamic conformal arc. With Varian technology, all three methodscan even be used together in the same treatment.TREATMENT PLANNING SOFTWARE. Reach plan goals quickly.Planned treatments actually get delivered thanks to Varian’s Eclipsesoftware, which provides fast, highly accurate dose calculations andadvanced leaf-motion sequencing. Interactive optimization lets cliniciansreach plan goals quickly and minimize critical-structure doses whileachieving the desired conformality.Eclipse treatment plan showshigh-dose conformality andcritical structure avoidance.MULTILEAF COLLIMATOR (MLC). Treat even the smallest lesions.Varian’s unique MLC design—up to 120 leaves and 5 mm leaf widths—permits treating even the smallest lesions, including those benefiting fromstereotactic techniques. IMRT fields up to 34 x 40 cm are quickly treatable,thanks to fast leaf speed, high precision, and interdigitation capabilities.STEREOTACTIC TREATMENTS. The highest dose and resolution.The versatile Trilogy system uses advanced imaging, patient immobilizationand treatment planning to deliver the right dose to the right place. Trilogyprovides the highest dose and resolution for intracranial and extracranialstereotactic radiosurgery and radiotherapy, and for diverse neurosurgicalapplications as well.Tight MLC tolerance and intelligentleaf motion trajectories result inaccurate dose deposition and fasttreatments.HIGH DOSE PLUS THE BEST CONFORMALITYStrong mechanical design keeps the gantrystiff and the isocenter tight with or withoutthe On-Board Imager kV imaging system.
