Trilogy

In 2006 Mount Sinai installed the state-of-the-art Trilogy™ system from Varian, the most sophisticated machine of its type in existence.

Trilogy delivers Image Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT), intensity modulation radiotherapy (IMRT) and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). It represents a major advance in radiation oncology, because it has the most accurate system of targeting a tumor available, causing less damage to surrounding healthy tissue. The result is decreased side effects and less risk of complication. Part of what makes Trilogy so unique is that it takes daily high resolution images of the size, shape and position of each patient's tumor – which can vary from day to day – and adjusts the patient's positioning accordingly, to ensure the greatest accuracy in targeting the tumor. The Trilogy system can be used for the widest range of external beam radiotherapy, including multiple types of radiosurgery. When used for image-guided radiosurgery, Trilogy can treat tumors and small lesions in the brain and other parts of the body quickly, with precisely targeted, powerful beams.
