Varian Edge

It is the Edge device of the American company Varian, thanks to which modern radiosurgery is performed.
Radiosurgery is a type of medical intervention that allows for the targeted radiation treatment of benign and malignant tumors, as well as other lesions, by radically eliminating tumor cells. The VARIAN EDGE radiosurgery device at the center, integrated with the unique “Identify” system, is unparalleled in the region. This system allows for precise patient positioning adjustments without using ionizing radiation, based on body surface movements, thereby reducing the risk of post-radiation complications.

Advantages of the device include:
· It has a 6D table, which helps to compensate for potential errors due to patient positioning across six planes.
· It provides treatment with micron-level precision while sparing healthy tissues.
· CT with a cone beam built into the device makes it possible to perform MR visualization of the target and adjacent healthy tissues before each session and to compare the image obtained in real conditions with the pre-radiation planning data and to carry out radiation only in case of compliance.
 
The Varian Edge system at the “Erebuni” Radiotherapy Center offers an unprecedented opportunity for precise cancer radiation treatment.
