## Indications for use
The TrueBeamnT, TrueBeam STx and EdgeTM Systems are intended to provide stereotactic radiosurgery and precision radiotherapy for lesions, tumors, and conditions anywhere in the body where radiation therapy is indicated for adults and pediatric patients. The TrueBeam radiotherapy system can produce CBCT images that can be used in image guided radiation therapy, and the simulation and planning for adaptive radiation therapy. The TrueBeam, TrueBeam STx and Edge Systems may be used in the delivery of radiation for treatment that includes: brain and spine tumors (such as glioma, meningioma, craniopharyngioma, pituitary tumors, spinal cord tumors, hemangioblastoma, orbital tumors, ocular tumors, optic nerve tumors, and skull based tumors), head and neck tumors (such as unknown primary of the head and neck, oral cavity, hypopharynx, larynx, oropharynx, nasopharynx, sinonasal, salivary gland, and thyroid cancer), thoracic tumors (such as lung cancer, esophageal cancer, thymic tumors, and mesothelioma), gynecologic tumors (such as ovarian, cervical, endometrial, vulvar, and vaginal), gastrointestinal tumors (such as gastric, pancreatic, hepatobiliary, colon, rectal, and anal carcinoma), genitourinary tumors (such as prostate, bladder, testicular, and kidney), breast tumors, sarcomas, lymphoid tumors (such as Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma), skin cancers (such as squamous cell, basal cell, and melanoma), benign diseases (such as schwannoma, arteriovenous malformation, cavernous malformation, trigeminal neuralgia, chordoma, glomus tumors, hemangiomas, and medically refractory essential tremor (indicated for adults only)), metastasis (including all parts of the body such as brain, bone, liver, lung, kidney, and skin), pediatric tumors (such as glioma, ependymoma, pituitary tumors, hemangioblastoma, craniopharyngioma, meningioma, metastasis, medulloblastoma, nasopharyngeal tumors, arteriovenous malformation, cavernous malformation, and skull base tumors), and low-dose radiotherapy for adults with medically refractory osteoarthritis. VitalBeam@ is intended to provide stereotactic radiosurgery and precision radiotherapy for lesions, tumors, and conditions anywhere in the body where radiation therapy is indicated for adults and pediatric patients. VitalBeam may be used in the delivery of radiation for treatment that includes: brain and spine tumors (such as glioma, meningioma, craniopharyngioma, pituitary tumors, spinal cord tumors, hemangioblastoma, orbital tumors, ocular tumors, optic nerve tumors, and skull based tumors), head and neck tumors (such as unknown primary of the head and neck, oral cavity, hypopharynx, larynx, oropharynx, nasopharynx, sinonasal, salivary gland, and thyroid cancer), thoracic tumors (such as lung cancer, esophageal cancer, thymic tumors, and mesothelioma), gynecologic tumors (such as ovarian, cervical, endometrial, vulvar, and vaginal), gastrointestinal tumors (such as gastric, pancreatic, hepatobiliary, colon, rectal, and anal carcinoma), genitourinary tumors (such as prostate, bladder, testicular, and kidney), breast tumors, sarcomas, lymphoid tumors (such as Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma), skin cancers (such as squamous cell, basal cell, and melanoma), benign diseases (such as schwannoma, arteriovenous malformation, cavernous malformation, trigeminal neuralgia, chordoma, glomus tumors, and hemangiomas), metastasis (including all parts of the body such as brain, bone, liver, lung, kidney, and skin), pediatric tumors (such as glioma, ependymoma, pituitary tumors, hemangioblastoma, craniopharyngioma, meningioma, metastasis, medulloblastoma, nasopharyngeal tumors, arteriovenous malformation, cavernous malformation, and skull base tumors), and low-dose radiotherapy for adults with medically refractory osteoarthritis.
