Benefits of Clinac

The Clinac is the most widely selected medical accelerator, and is used to treat thousands of patients around the world every day. The standard-bearer of the industry, the Clinac is an industry leader in high uptime and can be easily upgraded to match the needs of your clinic as it grows.

Administrator

A flexible and efficient treatment delivery system helps improve patient care and increase the number of patients you can treat. This translates to an enhanced reputation for the facility, increased revenues, and an accelerated return on investment.

In addition, a Varian Clinac leads all other linear accelerators in reliability, and comes with the best customer support service in the industry. With decades of experience as a world leader, Varian is committed to ensuring your machines are always up and running and delivering the highest quality treatment care.

Physician/oncologist

The versatility of the Clinac treatment machine enables any area of the body to be treated using the latest and most effective treatments available. With exceptional under couch access and multi-treatment modalities, there is no limit to the type of treatment clinicians can offer. In the case of IMRT, this includes:

  • Step and shoot
  • Sliding window
  • Small to large fields
  • Coplanar or non-coplanar fields
  • Radical or palliative plans

The Clinac is designed to deliver a high dose rate for fast treatment times and to help ensure effective hypofractionation. As a result, more patients can be treated quickly and accurately.

Physicist

The machine and dose stability of the Clinac enables you to deliver IMRT, IGRT and IMIGRT easily and effectively. The Clinac is designed so the beam remains consistent and can be quickly turned on and off. This high degree of accuracy and reliability enables gating and other advanced treatment techniques and ensures that the dose output is the same according to treatment.

The Clinac also features streamlined matching of machine dosimetry. This means that machines can be beam matched across the department, so patients can be easily and quickly transferred from machine to machine if required.

Therapist

The Clinac is easy to use and includes a large number of automated processes and built in safety mechanisms as standard features. This level of automation provides a logical working process for improved efficiency and safety. As a result, therapists can concentrate on explaining the process to the patient, rather than operating the machine.

In a busy facility where therapists frequently rotate around the department, commonality between products—for instance familiar controls, user interfaces and hand pendants—means less training and the ability to quickly transition through the treatment process. Clinac supports a streamlined clinical environment with an integrated approach designed to help save time and confusion. The result? A safe treatment environment where more patients can be treated reliably and effectively.
