The Trilogy™ Stereotactic System from Varian Medical Systems

HOW IT WORKS

The Trilogy system is built around an advanced medical linear accelerator, a machine that rotates 360 degrees around the patient to deliver radiotherapy treatments from many angles. The Trilogy accelerator has been enhanced for stereotactic applications that involve delivering higher doses of radiation to smaller areas over a shorter period of time.

The Trilogy system incorporates sophisticated technologies for shaping the radiation beam so that the dose of radiation is limited to the region of abnormality. By changing the beam shape over time while delivering the radiation, doctors achieve very fine control over how, and where, the radiation is administered.
