Tx™ Radiosurgery is one of the most precise, non-invasive radiosurgery
treatments available for cancerous and non-cancerous conditions of the entire
body. It represents a new standard in radiosurgery treatment, featuring advanced
technologies that deliver highly precise treatment
while protecting surrounding healthy tissue and offers one of the fastest
treatment times available—minutes, not hours—giving new hope to patients with
tumors once considered untreatable.
Novalis
Tx™ Radiosurgery rotates around the patient to deliver treatment beams anywhere
in the body from virtually any angle. A set of sophisticated image guidance and
motion management tools continuously provide clinicians with detailed
information about the shape, size and position of the targeted lesion to guide
patient setup and positioning and monitor motion during treatment.
For
treatments in or near the lungs, there are tools designed to synchronize
treatment with the patient’s breathing patterns to compensate for tumor motion.
A high-definition multi-leaf collimator, a beam shaping device, ensures that
the treatment beam matches the shape of the tumor from every angle.

Tx™ Radiosurgery treats cancerous and
non-cancerous conditions of the entire body, such as:
Arteriovenous malformations (AVM) Cavernous angiomas
Trigeminal neuralgia Intractable seizures
Parkinson’s disease Brain metastases/Gliomas
Acoustic neuromas Pediatric brain tumors
Recurrent brain tumors
Pituitary adenomas
Meningiomas of the skull base Craniopharyngiomas
Spine Tumors/Metastases
Prostate Cancer/Metastases
Liver Tumors/Metastases Lung
Tumors/Metastases
Can Novalis Tx Radiosurgery perform
radiotherapy and other types of
treatment?
Novalis
Tx Radiosurgery offers both stereotactic radiosurgery and fractionated
stereotactic radiotherapy treatments. Unlike some treatment devices, it can provide a high number of treatment
fractions. Studies have shown that fractionated treatment is necessary to
ensure
effective
treatment for some tumors and protect healthy tissue. This is particularly true
for tumors near
auditory nerves, where extending treatment over a number of fractions can
provide better treatment outcomes and preserve the patient’s hearing.

Tx Radiosurgery employs a wide range of treatment modalities—single stage,
hypo- and hyper-fractionation;
circular and conformal beams; dynamic conformal arcs; and IMRT—ensuring
patients receive the best treatment for their individual case.
A one of a kind technology that can treat both non-cancerous and cancerous conditions in a very less time is known as Novalis Tx radiosurgerysystem.The delivery of the beam is shaped in a precise way that is directed onto the tumor. The idea is to deliver the best possible treatment while sparing the surrounding healthy tissue. Novalis Tx makes use of a procedure known as stereotactic radiosurgery for treating the patients. Stereotactic radiosurgery is a non-invasive process that delivers high doses of radiation on the tumor from different angles.
Novalis Tx is an ideal technology for treating those tumors that were previously located in inaccessible locations and were difficult to treat. This technology decreases the treatment time as the high-dose radiation beams matches the shape of the tumor that is being treated. The potential errors are also reduced as in the case of time consuming procedures. The entire treatment session can be completed in just 15 minutes.
Other radiosurgery systems use circular beams of radiation to treat tumors and lesions. Most tumors or lesions are irregular in shape so the circular dose cannot completely conform to their exact shape. Novalis Tx radiosurgery shapes the radiation beam precisely to a patient’s tumor or lesion, ensuring that the best possible treatment dose is delivered while healthy tissue is protected. The radiation beam also adapts to the patient’s breathing and other body movements to continuously maintain safe, complete and accurate treatment. Treatments are fast, lasting only minutes, and the patient wears a frameless custom-fit mask rather than an invasive head ring.
