Catalog excerpts

The Varian SRS Package includes specifically-designed features that provide the clinician with confidence to deliver Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS). Additionally, the features help reduce overall time and resources required for SRS when compared to traditional methods. This can lead to an increase in the volume of procedures performed and lower per procedure costs for the hospital when compared to traditional surgery procedures. Frameless SRS may be administered using real-time tracking capabilities offered in the SRS package. Even slight motion has the potential to be assessed in real-time with the help of Varian’s optical technology and 3D mapping of the patient’s external surface – all while minimizing dose to healthy tissue. Stereotactic radiosurgery is growing as a technique New technology advances are expected to extend clinical applications, increase patient throughput and help reduce side effects.* Targeted treatment is driving radiotherapy growth. SRS treatment volume is expected to grow 93% from 2010 to 2020.** Growth Factors in SRS: • Mounting pressure to increase efficient equipment utilization that reduce treatment times • Use of fewer treatment sessions is preferred by both patients and clinicians • Decreases in overall costs • SRS delivers strong margins for oncology and neuroscience programs* *Source: Sg2 Intelligence, Technology Guide, EBRT Platforms, 2013 **Source: Sg2 Intelligence, Technology Guide, SRS/SBRT, 2013 FOR HEALTH PROFESSIONALS ONLY Package features: OPTICAL SURFACE MONITORING SYSTEM OSMS Start-Up Screen The Varian SRS Package uses non-ionizing real-time surface tracking to monitor patient motion after patient set up has been completed. Real time and accurate assessment of target location during beam delivery is combined with the instantaneous beam gating capability of Varian linacs. This combination can allow clinicians to reduce uncertainty margins, which is critical when delivering to a wide range of targets in the brain. • The system’s 3D imaging technology produces high resolution and accurate 3D surface data referenced to the treatment isocenter • The user has the ability to compare the treatment position with the reference surface both inside the treatment room and remotely • Highly accurate tracking of cranial position for all couch angles throughout treatments allowing non-coplanar treatments • A continuously updating display with a refresh rate optimized for tracking intracranial targets shows motion in all six degrees of freedom and may be viewed
