"Varian is the world leader in radiotherapy and radiosurgery technology and we have pioneered high intensity dose delivery for our family of medical linear accelerators, enabling clinicians to deliver up to 2400 monitor units of radiation per minute when appropriate," says Ashok Kakkar, Varian's senior managing director in India. "That delivery speed is unmatched in the industry. Treating patients with high intensity beams requires careful and precise patient setup and monitoring, which is aided by our robotically controlled image guidance solution."
"Around the world, as at Yashoda Institute, these advanced capabilities are enabling fast and precise treatments for a range of indications, particularly lung and liver cancer that have traditionally been difficult to treat curatively with traditional radiotherapy."
