From the Manufacturer
The Elekta Synergy system was the first linear accelerator to bring 3D image guidance into the treatment set up prodcess. The system is equipped with imaging tools that help clinicians visualize tumor targets and normal tissue, and their movement between and during fractions. Key imaging tools include 2D, 3D and 4D volumetric cone-beam imaging for soft tissue visualization; 2D real-time, fluoroscopic-like imaging for targets that move frequently; and 2D kV imaging for standard and orthogonal planar imaging.
