Doctors around the globe are turning more and more to the use of stereotactic body radiosurgery (SBRT) for the treatment of cancer and other conditions. Using the Novalis Tx platform from Varian Medical Systems and BrainLAB, doctors are performing image-guided radiosurgery to treat tumors of the brain, spine, lung, and liver, without a single incision in the patient.

Naren Ramakrishna, MD, PhD, Chief, CNS (Central Nervous System) radiation oncology, Brigham and Women's/Dana Farber says, Novalis Tx is a very versatile machine that will facilitate image-guided treatment for a variety of body sites. Combining the advanced technologies for imaging, treatment planning, and treatment delivery from both companies, it offers clinicians a fast, versatile, highly precise radiosurgery device for image-guided treatments of the brain or body.
Novalis Tx enables doctors to deliver fast radiosurgery treatments for a large number of indications, including malignant and benign lesions, brain metastases, arteriovenous malformations, and functional lesions. Designed for fast, precise, noninvasive radiosurgical procedures, the Novalis Tx has been adopted by leading academic institutions, regional medical centers, and community hospitals such as Duke University, UCLA, Brigham and Women's Hospital/Dana-Farber Cancer Institute; Henry Ford Health System; Oregon Health & Science University; Palo Alto Medical Foundation; Tata Memorial Hospital in Mumbai; and the University of Bern, Switzerland.
