Unmatched Flexibility
Elekta Infinity achieves helical-like target coverage with better sparing of
surrounding healthy tissue. Infinity can optimize the accuracy and speed of
delivery by simultaneously manipulating the gantry position, gantry speed,
MLC leaves, dose rate and collimator angle.

See Before Treating

Elekta 3D VolumeView™ imaging is integrated into Infinity, enabling
you to routinely confirm target and organ at risk positions immediately
before treatment. You can quickly confirm size, shape and position of
the target volume compared to plan, as well as the position of critical
adjacent structures.

Choose Your Approach

Only Infinity offers you a choice—use a single arc or choose multiple arcs to For complex anatomical sites, such as head and neck, a multiple-arc VMAT

clinical advantages of non-coplanar treatments.

Totally Targeted Minutes

Infinity dramatically reduces treatment sessions—to less than two
minutes in some cases. And with 3D imaging and highly conformal VMAT
delivery, you can perform most treatment sessions in five minutes or less.
