What is TrueBeam?

TrueBeam™️ is a state-of-the-art radiation therapy system developed by Varian Medical Systems. Designed to treat cancer with exceptional precision and speed, it combines advanced imaging, real-time tracking, and powerful radiation delivery in one platform. TrueBeam sets a new benchmark in non-invasive cancer treatment, offering accuracy down to sub-millimeter levels while protecting surrounding healthy tissues.

What Makes TrueBeam Special

Unlike traditional radiotherapy systems, TrueBeam is engineered for maximum flexibility and precision across a wide spectrum of cancers. It delivers highly focused radiation from multiple angles and adapts to even the smallest patient or tumor movements.

Key technological advantages include:

Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT): High-resolution imaging before and during treatment to ensure precise tumor targeting.
Respiratory Gating: Real-time synchronization with the patient’s breathing for moving tumors (e.g., lung, liver).
RapidArc®️ Technology: Allows faster, more accurate treatment in a continuous rotation—often completed in just a few minutes.
Identify™️ SGRT (Surface Guided Radiation Therapy): A non-invasive system that uses 3D surface tracking to ensure exact patient positioning without the need for tattoos or skin marks. It enhances safety by continuously monitoring motion during treatment and can automatically pause delivery if the patient moves out of alignment.

Benefits for the Patient

Shorter Treatment Times: Sessions are often completed in under 10 minutes, reducing fatigue and discomfort.
Painless and Non-Invasive: No incisions, no recovery time—patients can resume daily activities quickly.
Fewer Side Effects: Precise targeting means reduced radiation to healthy tissues and organs.
Increased Comfort with SGRT: Identify™️ SGRT eliminates the need for permanent skin marks and improves setup accuracy while ensuring patient dignity.

Where Can TrueBeam Be Used?

TrueBeam is highly versatile and can be used to treat cancers in nearly any part of the body, including:

Brain and spine tumors
Head and neck cancers
Breast cancer
Lung and thoracic cancers
Liver and gastrointestinal cancers
Prostate and pelvic region tumors
Pancreatic and esophageal cancers

Its precision makes it especially effective for treating tumors located near vital organs or those that move during respiration.
