Why treatment on True Beam

The Varian TrueBeam is the newest model of the medical linear accelerator, a state-of-the-art radiation delivery platform which is available in only a few centers in India (1st in North East region of India) that treats cancer with speed and accuracy while avoiding healthy tissues and organs.

Treatment advantages

• True Beam’s technology makes it possible to deliver fast, accurate image-guided treatments within just a few minutes.
• With advanced imaging, physicians can deliver treatment more accurately by enabling them to “see” the tumor they treat and target tumors with sub-millimeter accuracy.
• Some tumors move when you breathe in and out. This system’s “respiratory gating” option helps maintain accuracy by synchronizing beam delivery with your breathing.
• The precision of TrueBeam is measured in increments of less than a millimeter, performing accuracy checks every ten milliseconds throughout the entire treatment.
