The NOVAC 11 is an electron linear accelerator used for radiation therapy duringsurgical procedures in an operating room for the treatment of malignant and benignconditions. Known as Intraoperative Radiation Therapy (IORT), this technique allowsdelivery of high doses of radiation directly aimed at tumors or other sites while avoidingdosage to surgically mobilized normal tissues.The NOVAC 11 is a mobile and articulated machine that can be moved towards thepatient and put in the appropriate position to carry out the necessary radiotherapy.
An assembly of devices designed to produce high-energy electrons to yield high-energy x-rays used for therapeutic applications, primarily to treat cancer. It provides a uniform radiation field of uniform intensity and predictable energy level, in a beam with well defined dimensions. The principle of operation is linear acceleration of electrons by means of electromagnetic (EM) microwaves. The output is used as a treatment beam on the patient, either directly or after passing a suitable target. The system typically includes signal analysis and display devices, patient and device supports, and software.
