Varian Clinac iX Linear Accelerator

The linear accelerator produces radiation upon demand for the treatment of cancers.

• It can produce up the 3 photo beams (x-ray) for treating deep seated tumors.
• It offers a range of electron energies used to treat cancers closer to the skin.
  • Head
  • Neck
  • Breast
  • Skin
  • Other more superficial cancers
• It allows for precise treatment of cancers, while limiting radiation dose to other organs and tissues with:
  • Cone-beam CT based imaging and repositioning
  • Multi-leaf collimation (MLC blocking) system
  • Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT)
