What is frameless patient positioning?
 

BrainLAB’s frameless mask system complemented with X-ray image acquisition enables Novalis to treat single stage radiosurgery.

Novalis compensates for any patient misalignment with automatic couch movement. Set-up inaccuracies are detected automatically, seconds before treatment in three dimensions as well as for all rotational axes.

Any positioning inaccuracies are then corrected by the computer-controlled treatment couch and robotic tilt module.

Continuous tracking of the patient’s position during treatment guarantees safe treatments.
