Trilogy can deliver stereotactic radiosurgery, fractionated stereotactic radiation therapy, and intensity-modulated radiosurgery, according to the Palo Alto, CA-based vendor.
It can also perform 3-D conformal radiotherapy, SmartBeam IMRT, and Dynamic Targeting image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT), Varian said. The company is taking orders now for Trilogy, which is expected to begin shipping in the second half of fiscal 2004.
