The Varian EDGE is not simply a more powerful radiation delivery device — it represents a fundamentally different approach to precision oncology. Designed specifically for complex, high-dose stereotactic cases, the EDGE integrates sub-millimeter targeting accuracy with real-time surface guidance, a 6-degree-of-freedom couch, and a high-definition multileaf collimator into a single, fully integrated platform.
For patients, this means shorter treatment courses, less exposure of healthy tissue to radiation, and clinical results that match or exceed what was previously only achievable through surgery.
For complex cases — including tumors near the spine, multiple brain metastases, and patients who have received prior radiation — the EDGE opens treatment options that were not previously available in a community setting.
IDENTIFY is Varian's surface-guided radiation therapy (SGRT) system, integrated directly with the EDGE. A camera array maps your body surface in real time — every millimeter — and triggers a beam hold if you move outside preset tolerances. No tattoos. No tracking markers. Continuous, non-ionizing surface imaging throughout treatment delivery.

SBRT Capability
5 fractions vs. 25-40 with conventional RT. For prostate, lung, and spine — the EDGE delivers high-dose, precisely focused treatment with the accuracy required for short-course radiation programs.
The EDGE LINAC is the centerpiece of a fully integrated treatment ecosystem — from simulation through planning, delivery, and medical records.
Industry-standard treatment planning system — fully integrated with the EDGE. Automated planning tools, VMAT, IMRT, and SRS plan generation with direct ARIA plan delivery.
Treatment PlanningNew wide-bore CT simulator — accommodating the full range of treatment positions and immobilization devices. Large bore ensures patient comfort and accurate simulation for SBRT setups.
CT Simulation — NewFully integrated oncology EMR — treatment records, physician notes, referral coordination, and treatment summaries, all in one system. Same-day summaries sent to referring physicians after every fraction.
