Novalis Tx, Baptist Health, Inside Jacksonville

Baptist Medical Center Jacksonville's new Novalis Tx™ system for image-guided radiosurgery is highlighted in this segment from the TV show "Inside Jacksonville". The Novalis Tx offers patients fast, accurate non-surgical treatments for cancer and other conditions in the brain, head, neck and body.
Image-guided radiosurgery (IGRS) involves quickly delivering precisely focused, high-energy radiation to a localized area to destroy tumors throughout the body. Many of these cannot be treated using traditional surgery.
"These treatments are delivered from outside the body to destroy tumors or remove targeted abnormalities without an incision so patients treated in this way can avoid hospitalization, lengthy recovery periods, and many of the complications often associated with conventional surgery. Radiosurgery is an outpatient procedure and patients typically have treatment and are able to resume their normal activities that same day."
