The
Trilogy™ Stereotactic
System from Varian Medical Systems
The Trilogy™ Stereotactic System from Varian Medical Systems
is the most advanced, sophisticated machine of its type in
the world.
As the leading
image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) system, Trilogy marks the
beginning of a new generation of cancer care.
The versatile
Trilogy system combines imaging and treatment technologies,
and can be used to deliver the widest range of external beam
radiotherapies: 3D conformal radiotherapy, IMRT, stereotactic
radiosurgery,
fractionated
stereotactic radiation therapy and intensity-modulated radiosurgery
for cancer and neurosurgical treatments.
Advanced
imaging capabilities built into the system allow therapists
to position
patients for treatment with submillimeter
accuracy.
A respiratory gating system compensates for any tumor movement
that occurs as a patient breathes.
The Trilogy
system is powerful, and it can deliver radiotherapy doses at
least 60
percent faster than conventional accelerators.
This shortens the length of
time patients need to spend undergoing treatment. In addition, the radiation
beam is highly precise, allowing clinicians to deliver treatments with
unprecedented accuracy.
