New Beam Generation System• All new accelerator guide• Variable energy switch• Simplified and integrated bend magnet• New energy/foil carousel and target system• Real-time electron gun gating• Maximum flexibility in dosimetry <5

MU/min up to 2400 MU/min

Page 6: Varian TrueBeam

New Beam Generation System• The TrueBeam system has been

designed from the ground up to optimize radiotherapy and radiosurgery

• Delivers powerful cancer treatments with pinpoint accuracy and precision

• Seamless integration of treatment, imaging and motion management

Page 7: Varian TrueBeam

Radically Different Future• Designed to optimize radiotherapy and radiosurgery• Integrates and choreographs powerful imaging and

treatment systems• Unparalleled accuracy• Unlocks new treatment options• Allows patients to receive radiation with less

treatments• Treats new cancers that were previously untreatable

Page 8: Varian TrueBeam

More Treatment Options• Provide more options for treating

complex cancer cases including lung, breast, liver, abdomen, head and neck

• IMRT, IGRT, RapidArc, Gated RapidArc, SBRT, SRS

Page 9: Varian TrueBeam

Gated RapidArc• Next evolutionary step• Compensates for tumor motion• Expands application of RapidArc

treatments to moving tumors• Enables fast treatments

of tumors that move with respiration• Minimizes exposure to healthy tissues

Page 10: Varian TrueBeam

Gated RapidArc

Page 11: Varian TrueBeam

Multiple Energy Support• 6 X-ray energies• 8 electron energies• Tailor treatments to individual patients• Select optimal energy for specific clinical

need

Page 12: Varian TrueBeam

Improved CBCT Quality• Overall, better image uniformity• Cupping artifact has been minimized -

apparent when performing window and level

• Improvement in the skin line definition• Better HU accuracy under

all conditions

Page 13: Varian TrueBeam

Imaging on Demand• Higher capacity X-ray tube• Acquire a radiograph,

CBCT image, or perform fluoroscopy, anytime

• Automated filter management• Variable collimation

Page 14: Varian TrueBeam

New Standards in Accuracy• Mechanical and Imaging Isocenter

Accuracy < 0.75 mm• Gantry rotational:

< 0.3 degrees• Collimator rotational:

< 0.5 degrees

Page 15: Varian TrueBeam

Submillimeter Couch Accuracy• Compensates for

mechanical deflection• Rotational accuracy

for patient positioning 0 to+ 6 degrees: < 0.4 degrees

• Spatial translational accuracy for patient positioning+ 5 cm shift: < .5 mm

Page 16: Varian TrueBeam

Unrivaled Treatment Precision• All within 10 milliseconds• Accuracy in increments of less than a

millimeter• Submillimeter alignment for imaging and

treatment isocenter

Page 17: Varian TrueBeam

• One button image acquisition and full automation of beam delivery make treatments 50% faster*

• Changing imaging procedures and protocols is simple and fast

• Position and treat in less time than RapidArc benchmark

50%

Faster

Fast and Precise

Synchronized Imaging & Delivery

= Fast & Precise Treatments

Page 21: Varian TrueBeam

Enhanced Image Guidance• Simplified, Automated Imaging Modes• Image Acquisition during Treatment—kV

and MV• Respiration synchronized kV and MV

Enhanced Patient Comfort

Page 25: Varian TrueBeam

Built with Patient Comfort in Mind• Quiet operation provides for more

comfortable environment• Shorter treatment times, less

interruption to patient’s daily lives• Music can be played during treatments

to increase patient comfort

Page 26: Varian TrueBeam

Enhanced Patient Interaction• Constant interaction between the

patient and therapist• New communication system enables the

therapist to monitor the patient from outside the treatment room

Page 27: Varian TrueBeam

Allow More Time with Patient• Guided workflow • Streamlined tasks• Prompted and predicted next steps• Common user interface for Console,

Pendant and Couch controls
