Varian Medical Systems and BrainLAB Join Forces to Introduce Novalis® Tx — the World’s Most Powerful and Versatile Stereotactic Radiosurgery System Novalis® Tx unveiled at the Congress of Neurological Surgeons (CNS) meeting in San Diego, California In a move to offer superior noninvasive treatment options for patients, Varian Medical Systems, Inc. (NYSE:VAR) and BrainLAB have teamed up to create Novalis® Tx, integrating the most successful radiosurgery technologies from both companies for imaging, treatment planning, and treatment delivery. Novalis Tx integrates Varian’s Trilogy® Tx linear accelerator and new HD120 multi-leaf collimator offering 2.5 mm leaves for finer beam shaping. This ultra-precise radiosurgical instrument will use a variety of standard and configurable options including Varian’s On-board Imager® device, the BrainLAB ExacTrac® X-Ray 6D room mounted X-Ray imaging system, BrainLAB iPlan® treatment planning software as well as Varian’s Eclipse™ treatment planning and ARIA™ information management software. “This powerful platform enables both companies to offer radiation oncologists, neurosurgeons and other medical specialists the sharpest knife available for radiosurgery,” said Tim Guertin president and CEO of Varian Medical Systems. “This product introduction is a natural extension of a relationship that has been in place since 1996, when BrainLAB and Varian incorporated linear accelerator and multileaf collimator technologies to create the Novalis line of radiosurgery products.” “Building upon our long-time relationship with Varian and the strengths of both organizations, Novalis Tx integrates the most powerful and advanced capabilities available on the market today,” said Stefan Vilsmeier, President and CEO, BrainLAB. “More versatility and efficiency will mean new hope for more patients.” The Novalis Tx offers the widest range of treatment options for the largest number of indications, including malignant and benign lesions, brain metastases, arteriovascular malformations, and functional lesions. It features the highest dose delivery rates in the industry, dynamic beam shaping, and frameless patient positioning for more rapid, effective, and comfortable treatments. Unlike other radiosurgical devices that are limited to a 6 million electron volt (MEV) energy level, the Novalis Tx allows multiple beam energies from 6 to 20 MEV for treating deep-seated tumors and sparing surrounding healthy tissue more effectively. Clinics should be able to treat twice the number of patients per day than with any other radiosurgery system on the market. The Novalis Tx offers the most comprehensive image guidance system available, including Varian’s machine-mounted 3D CT scanner with 2D radiographic and fluoroscopic imaging capability as well as the BrainLab room-mounted X-Ray imaging system for real-time imaging and motion management. Coupled with the BrainLAB 6D robotic couch, this system offers an extremely fast and accurate solution for setting up and verifying proper patient position during treatment. The treatment planning and information management software products present clinicians with the fastest, most user-friendly and versatile platform for managing, planning, and delivering radiosurgery. The Novalis Tx is currently on display at the 57th annual meeting of the Congress of Neurological Surgeons (CNS), taking place through September 20 in San Diego.
