The TrueBeam® radiotherapy system is an advanced medical linear accelerator--fully-integrated for image-guided radiotherapy and radiosurgery and designed from the ground up to treat targets with enhanced speed and accuracy. TrueBeam treats cancer anywhere in the body where radiation treatment is indicated, including lung, breast, prostate and head and neck. Having the power to not only treat quickly, but also deliver highly precise dose rates are hallmarks of the TrueBeam system.

TrueBeam offers clinicians intelligent tools for a wide spectrum of advanced treatment modalities including intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), and RapidArc® radiotherapy, a form of volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT). New capabilities for TrueBeam feature high-precision Stereotactic Radiosurgery with HyperArc™, improved soft-tissue visualization via iterative Cone-Beam CT (iCBCT), and enhancements to intrafraction motion management techniques--giving clinicians the confidence to know treatments are delivered exactly as planned.
