treatment option by maximizing throughput, offering flexibility in treatment
protocols, and providing fast planning, setup and treatment.
Higher Throughput
Treat consistently and rapidly—accommodating cases of varying complexity and tumor type, size and
location—due to the fundamental design and software familiarity of the Novalis Tx radiosurgery
TM
platform. Reach more patients by performing thousands of treatments annually, while perfectly
leveraging internal resources.
Expanded Treatment Protocols
Key complementary technologies and capabilities, from imaging to delivery, are fully embedded into the
Novalis Tx radiosurgery platform. Such careful integration is rapidly becoming recognized as the perfect
fusion of many standard radiation systems on the market. Experience freedom in implementing existing,
and designing future, treatment protocols with the versatile Novalis Tx radiosurgery platform.
IMPROVED Patient Comfort
Novalis Tx radiosurgery shaped-beam technology is fast and flexible, making it the benchmark in patient comfort. Treatments last only minutes, so patients can more easily tolerate the frameless, customfit stereotactic mask, as compared to being locked in invasive head rings for extended procedures. Every
minute counts—for patients as well as hospitals.

patient treatment steps when and where necessary, on-site or remotely.
Surgeon Managed
The Novalis Tx radiosurgery platform is an important element in the continuum of options from which
surgeons may choose. Early disease management steps are similar for surgery or radiosurgery in
determining the best strategy for patients. Identify specific areas of interest during surgery, such as
residual tumor, and reference them during radiosurgery treatment, with the VectorVision® pointer and
other surgical tools.
