Novalis Shaped Beam Surgery is the gold standard for non-invasive stereotactic radiosurgery and radiotherapy (SRS/SRT).

At the core of the system is a micro-multileaf collimator, or beam-shaping device, that allows Novalis to accurately conform to the contour of irregularly shaped tumors from any angle with millimeter precision.

Sophisticated software calculates the ideal access points to the tumor or lesion and defines the treatment plan.

The Novalis Center at Southeast Missouri Hospital provides a team approach that is patient-centered and physician- referral friendly. The highly qualified and credentialed staff has more than 150 years of combined experience.

Southeast's team includes a full-time Novalis Coordinator, a full-time board certified Radiation Oncologist, in-house physicists and a tradition of cancer care leadership since 1967.

"Novalis requires a teamwork approach, not just a team of experts, and I believe Southeast's team is committed to working together on every case for the benefit of the patient." Timothy Solberg, Ph.D., who was responsible for installation of the world's first Novalis system at UCLA in 1997.
