Brainlab Continues to Advance Global Treatment Access and Consistency in Cancer Care Centers PR Newswire MUNICH, July 25, 2012 MUNICH, July 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Three hundred Novalis Radiosurgery Programs now offer care to patients worldwide th ®Today Brainlab announced the inauguration of the 300 Novalis Radiosurgery Program. The addition of another healthcare facility to the worldwide Novalis treatment, communication and collaboration network allows Brainlab to expand and build upon this distinctive and comprehensive program that the company established 15 years ago and continues to transform. These centers all share premium, standard-defining Brainlab technology, allowing for direct and consistent implementation of the same treatment protocols for radiosurgery and stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). thThe 300 Novalis Radiosurgery Program represents a significant milestone since Brainlab inaugurated the first NovalisRadiosurgery system at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), USA. Radiosurgery has advanced significantly over the past 15 years, with much of the conversation focusing around hardware innovations. While these iterations are an important part of industry progress, changing the paradigm has been realized by advances in software and patient positioning, such as volumetric dose planning, conformal dynamic arcs and 6D patient alignment.
