San Diego Radiosurgery offers a revolutionary new treatment for treating harmful tumors that does not require an invasive procedure or anesthesia and lets the patient go home immediately afterwards.

The Novalis Tx™ platform for image-guided radiosurgery offers patients fast, accurate non-surgical treatments for cancer and other conditions in the brain, head, neck, and body. Novalis Tx incorporates advanced imaging, treatment planning, and treatment delivery technologies from Varian Medical Systems and BrainLAB, enabling doctors to carry out highly precise, non-invasive image-guided radiosurgery procedures quickly and with great precision.

Image-guided radiosurgery (IGRS) involves quickly delivering precisely focused, high-energy radiation to a localized area to destroy tumors or to make other medical repairs that often cannot be addressed by conventional surgery, including some malignant and benign lesions, brain metastases, arteriovenous malformations, and functional lesions.

Novalis Tx combines a powerful linear accelerator, which rotates around the patient to deliver treatment beams from virtually any angle with a set of advanced image guidance and motion management tools that guide patient set up, positioning, and monitor motion during treatment. A high-definition multi-leaf collimator shapes the treatment beam so it matches the shape of the tumor from every angle. Novalis Tx can be used to deliver frameless radiosurgery treatments, a more patient-friendly alternative to other systems that require immobilization with a head ring that attaches to the skull.

San Diego Radiosurgery is pleased to be one of the first facilities in the country to offer this advanced form of radiation treatment using Novalis Tx. Call today to see if radiosurgery is right for you.
