South Florida Radiation Oncology (SFRO), a provider of cancer treatment solutions, has purchased Varian Medical Systems' TrueBeam system to treat cancer with image-guided radiotherapy.
The TrueBeam system integrates new imaging and motion management technologies to deliver treatments, while monitoring and compensating for tumor motion.
The system can be used for radiotherapy treatments including image-guided radiotherapy and radiosurgery (IGRT and IGRS), intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), RapidArc radiotherapy and gated RapidArc.
For lung and other tumors subject to respiratory motion, TrueBeam offers gated RapidArc radiotherapy, which makes it possible to monitor patient breathing and compensate for tumor motion while quickly delivering dose during a continuous rotation around the patient.
