Varian Edge

Varian Edge is an advanced radiosurgery platform, a high-precision machine that treats tumours with very focused beams of radiation delivered from outside the body, without any cutting. It is built for stereotactic radiosurgery and stereotactic body radiotherapy, two techniques that concentrate a high dose of radiation onto the exact shape of a target while protecting the healthy tissue around it. Image guidance and real-time motion management track tiny patient or tumour movement and keep the beam on target with sub-millimetre accuracy. Treatment is painless, needs no rigid head frame for brain targets, and is usually completed in a small number of short outpatient sessions. The radiation oncology team always plans each case individually.
