1) “TrueBeam” Varian (V.2 perfect Pitch), high energy linear accelerator dedicated to stereotactic body (SBRT – Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy) and single-session brain radiosurgery (SRS – Stereotactic Radiosurgery) treatments.

– TrueBeam can provide safely ablation doses, namely highly tumoricidal, on few tumoral volumes ( up to a few cem in diameter) located in different body areas as prostate, lung, brain, pancreas, liver, lymph nodes. The patients are properly selected with specific criteria on the basis of validated indication for the procedure and/or within study protocols.

– The treatment with Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) with TrueBeam can be provided with particular radiation beams (FFF – Flattening Filter Free) reducing the time of session (1-3 minutes), treatment and uncertainties tied to patient’s movements during the dose-dispensing.

– A robotic cot with 6 degree of movement (among the first of its kind in Italy with Truebeam system) also follows the movements of target to hit in order to be always irradiated with maximum precision.

– It is possible to carry out before, during and after every session of high-quality images (IGRT con ConeBeam CT and/or Exac Trac) to control the precision of treatment.

– The True Beam provided at the Negrar’s Hospital is clinically used to reduce significantly the sessions of treatment  (extreme hypofractionalization).

– NEW ! The Truebeam is configured with Calypso system that allows to pinpoint the area to hit. It’s about a single security system stopping the emission of radiations if the patient is not correctly positioned or if the tumoral target to hit is not in the right area. This system is present only in few Italian and worldwide centers and is used in particular protocols of stereotactic and radiosurgical radiotherapy.
