Varian 21EX Linear Accelerator

With the Varian 21EX linear accelerator (LINAC), external beam radiation therapy is delivered using high-energy x-ray and electron beams that are custom shaped to treat the tumor or “target volume” and spare the healthy normal tissue. Our computer-controlled accelerators are equipped with differing energies and devices, making them capable of delivering specialized cancer treatments. Intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), improves upon the precision of treatment.

	The Varian 21EX Linear Accelerator “delivers ultra-precise radiation treatment by protecting healthy tissue in the surrounding treatment area while simultaneously delivering powerful doses of radiation to the tumor.” Michael W. Zinda, Medical Director, Turville Bay MRI & Radiation Oncology Center.
