India has seen the arrival of Stereotactic Radio-Surgery by the installation of revolutionary non-evasive, image guided and precise surgery equipment.
Designed by Varian Medical Systems USA, and BrainLAB Germany, the Novalis-TX takes 3D images of the tumor before, and during surgery, then directs high densidy radiation beams, guided to the tumor, sparing adjacent tissues.
The installation of this equipment in a Mombai hospital brings India into the 21st century status for treating tumors.
Irregular shaped lesions can get uniform radiation in a single session, as well as cranial tumors, where radiation beams can be adapted to breathing and other body movements to maintain safe, complete and accurate dosage.
Novalis-TX is said to be one of the most powerful radio-surgery systems developed, allowing fast reatment, covering crainial and extra-cranial, spine, lung, liver and prostrate lesions, benign and malignant lesions, maningioma tumors, pituitary adenomas and cavenous angiomas. Intractable seizures and Parkinsons disease will also benefit from use of this equipment.
