Partnership with Varian Medical Systems

IMG 3849

We are a proud partner with Varian Medical Systems, and serve as a Varian demonstration site. We also utilize our radiosurgery expertise to host our SRS/SBRT training course, a three day conference that discusses and demonstrates stereotactic radiation (SRS) and stereotactic body radiation (SBRT) delivery with Eclipse™ and TrueBeam™.
