Novalis® Radiosurgery
Today more than 300 sites worldwide serve patients with a Novalis-configured linear accelerator. These centers all share premium Brainlab technology for radiosurgery and stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT).
Radiosurgery of the past was a time-consuming, invasive and costly procedure. Patients often experienced discomfort and certain indications were sometimes insufficiently treated. Novalis® Radiosurgery offers targeted non- or minimally invasive* radiosurgery treatments for cancerous and non-cancerous conditions of the entire body. This radiosurgery platform brings together innovation, powerful technology and a dedication to excellence in tandem with an experienced clinical community and dedicated training.
- Frameless non-invasive treatment for improved patient comfort
- Treats benign and malignant tumors, arteriovenous malformations and neurological disorders
- Typical treatment times of less than 20 minutes
- Cost effective solution that offers increased patient throughput and utilization
* Some doctors may opt to use a minimally invasive head frame for certain procedures.

Millimeter Accuracy in One Minute
ExacTrac® room based submillimetric patient setup
Novalis Radiosurgery components shape the radiation beam to match the contour of the tumor or lesion, ensuring that the physician-prescribed dose of high-energy radiation is delivered to the entire tumor while helping to avoid nearby healthy tissue.
Advanced and automated software calculates fine dose calculation adaptive grid for even the smallest lesions. Remote planning and tablet capabilities support mobile decision making and flexible plan adaptation.
