Truebeam
Introduction
TrueBeam is an advanced linear accelerator and radiosurgery treatment system that allows doctors to target hard-to-reach tumors.
The machine uses cutting-edge imaging technology - called ExacTrac - to capture images of your tumor, even when it moves during your natural breathing patterns. It uses these images to confirm that the radiation beams are always targeting the tumor.
Because tumors aren't perfectly round, TrueBeam can alter the shape of the radiation beam to match the shape of your tumor. This may decrease the amount of radiation to healthy tissue that surrounds the tumor.
