Shapes the radiation beam to match the exact contour of the tumor or lesion, ensuring the maximum prescribed dose of high-energy radiation is delivered to the entire tumor.Protects surrounding healthy tissue.Adapts the treatment beam to breathing and other body movements to continuously maintain safe, complete and accurate dose delivery.Non-invasive, outpatient procedure lasts for just 15 to 20 minutes, rather than hours, for a more comfortable and less restricted treatment experience than other radiosurgery devices.Reduces the likelihood of patient or tumor movements, ensuring the highest possible level of treatment accuracy.Treatment can take place in a single day, although your doctor will decide if your treatment should be administered in a single dose or in a series of doses.Employs a wide range of treatment modalities, ensuring you receive the best treatment for your individual case. Other radiosurgery devices are limited to only one treatment modality.Delivers the industry’s highest dose rate, penetrating deeper to treat tumors previously considered untreatable.Offers hope to patients with clinical conditions once considered untreatable and those for whom surgery is not an option.Frameless radiosurgery offers a more patient-friendly alternative to other radiosurgery devices that require immobilization with a head ring that attaches to the skull.What types of conditions can be treated with Novalis Tx™ Radiosurgery?

How does Novalis Tx™ Radiosurgery work ?
Novalis Tx™ Radiosurgery incorporates a powerful linear accelerator, which rotates around the patient to deliver treatment beams anywhere in the body from virtually any angle. A set of sophisticated image-guidance and motion management tools provide clinicians with detailed information about the shape, size and position of the targeted lesion, guide patient setup and positioning and monitors motion during treatment.
Why is fast treatment important ?
Prolonged treatment times can affect patient comfort and treatment accuracy. Fast treatment reduces the likelihood of patient or tumor movements, which can impact overall accuracy. In addition to offering one of the industry’s fastest treatment times, Novalis Tx™ Radiosurgery continuously tracks patient and tumor motion and automatically adjusts the beam of radiation to maintain the highest possible level of treatment accuracy.

The Novalis Tx makes it possible for doctors to treat patients with tumours virtually anywhere in the body in just a single session. Combining a ‘sat nav’ like targeting system and powerful treatment beams, the Novalis Tx can destroy cancerous cells and helps to protect surrounding healthy tissue.
The Novalis Tx™ radiosurgery platform, offers state-of-the-art, non-invasive treatment for a wide range of malignancies and other potentially debilitating conditions, without harming nearby healthy tissue and without involving traditional surgery.
Dec 7, 2022 · Novalis Tx is a modality integrated with Varian and Brainlab technologies, and provides the ability of 2-D and 3-D multi-imaging (kV, MV) for treatment. Treatment delivery can either use intensity-modulated radiation therapy or conformal radiation therapy to deliver static beam or arc therapy.
