## Indications for use
The NOVACT is an electron linear accelerator used for radiation therapy during surgical procedures in an operating room for the treatment of malignant and benign conditions. Know as intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT), this technique allow delivery of high doses of radiation directly aimed at tumors or other sites while avoiding dosage to surgically mobilized normal tissues. The NOVAC7 is a mobile and articulated machine that can be moved towards the patient and put in the appropriate position to carry out the necessary radiotherapy. Applicators direct the electron beam to the surgical area of interest.
