Novalis® has room based x-ray imaging called ExacTrac® has two x-ray tubes that are perpendicular to each other. It performs localization correction in two minutes. In addition, x-ray IGRT images are verified automatically and patient setup, including corrections with six-degree freedom. Infrared camera system can detect the difference of patient position and target position during the treatment and can make any necessary correction of the couch immediately.
