Clinac 21EX/23EX and Platinum Linear Accelerator
High performance, Maximum efficiency.
Clinac® EX linear accelerators are high-performance systems with:
- An instant beam-on with dynamic treatment control
- The greatest number of energy options to treat the widest range of patients
- The most precise focal spot size for optimum portal imaging
- The highest dose rates across the energy spectrum for greater throughput
These capabilities, combined with optional integrated Varian® multileaf collimation and electronic portal imaging systems, enable clinicians to perform the most advanced computer-driven intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) treatments, as well as conventional therapy techniques.
