Trilogy Linear Accelerator
How It Works
Treatments
The Trilogy™ Stereotactic System from Varian Medical Systems is the most advanced, sophisticated machine of its type in the world.
As the leading image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) system, Trilogy marks the beginning of a new generation of cancer care. The versatile Trilogy system combines imaging and treatment technologies, and can be used to deliver the widest range of external beam radiotherapies: 3D conformal radiotherapy, IMRT, stereotactic radiosurgery, fractionated stereotactic radiation therapy and intensity-modulated radiosurgery for cancer and neurosurgical treatments.
The Trilogy Stereotactic System also incorporates a number of technologies for positioning patients accurately, including:
- A special X-ray imager that is used to check the patient’s position prior to treatment and to monitor the position of the targeted area during treatment.
- An optical guidance system with infrared cameras that continuously monitor the patient’s position to provide therapists with real-time feedback about any changes in a patient’s position.
- A “respiratory gating” technology that coordinates treatment with respiration, to compensate for tumor motion due to the patient’s breathing.
