What is a Varian linear accelerator?
About the Varian™ TruBeam™ Linear Accelerator The TruBeam™ Linear Accelerator combines imaging, beam delivery and sophisticated motion management to accurately and precisely target tumors with speed.
How much does a Varian edge cost?
The system costs between $3 million and $5.5 million—the higher prices usually take into account the purchase of other options and add-on technologies, Lee said. Older systems such as Varian’s Trilogy system usually cost between $2 million and $3.5 million.
What is RapidArc?
RapidArc radiotherapy technology, produced by Varian Medical Systems, is an extremely fast and precise form of image-guided, intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). Image guidance improves tumor targeting. IMRT shapes the radiation dose so that it conforms closely to the 3D shape of your tumor.
How does IMRT machine work?
IMRT uses multiple small photon or proton beams of varying intensities to precisely irradiate a tumor. The radiation intensity of each beam is controlled, and the beam shape changes throughout each treatment.
What is Varian edge radiation?
The Varian Edge radiosurgery system is used to precisely target and treat tumors. It is a technology system consisting of imaging, body positioning, motion management, beam shaping, and dose delivery of radiation beams that target tumors with extreme precision.
What’s new at Varian Medical Systems?
PALO ALTO, Calif., Oct. 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — ASTRO Booth # 419 — Varian Medical Systems (NYSE: VAR) today announced that it has developed groundbreaking technology for faster, more precise cancer treatments using a unique form of volumetric arc therapy.
How are RapidArc treatments administered?
The Technology RapidArc treatments are administered using a 2100ex medical linear accelerator outfitted with a CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) imaging system for generating and using 3-dimensional images to pinpoint tumor placement and guide treatment delivery.
What is rapidrapidarc technology?
RapidArc technology utilizes a sophisticated algorithm that makes it possible to program a Varian linear accelerator to deliver a complete intensity-modulated radiation treatment in a single revolution.
