HyperArc is the latest technological advancement from Varian Medical Systems. It provides an end-to-end solution for multiple brain tumours and is primarily used to treat secondary brain tumours (those that have spread from other parts of the body).
The software seamlessly connects with the Varian TrueBeam linear accelerator (the machine that delivers radiation therapy) and allows for automated planning and the ability to accurately target multiple tumours while ensuring limited doses of radiation to surrounding healthy brain tissue. This also reduces the impact of side effects compared to traditional radiation to the brain, including headaches and hair loss.
