From a clinical workflow and technology standpoint, I was wondering—given the geometric limitations in ring gantry systems, is the likely direction toward surface imaging with AI-based prediction, or are there ongoing developments for internal tracking within closed-bore architectures?
First of all thank you for this platform.
May i know Sir from your experience, what are the most effective strategies for managing intrafraction motion during SBRT, particularly in spine and lung cases?
Join us in Philadelphia for our Mid-Atlantic Regional Symposium with insightful clinical talks by renowned clinical experts and inspirational discussions on SRS and SBRT.
Experience cutting edge of radiotherapy and radiosurgery at our exciting two days symposium focused on precision, personalization, and standardization in Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) and Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT).
This event will bring together medical physicists, dosimetrists, radiation oncologists and radiation therapists to share valuable clinical techniques and innovative management strategies, as well as to gain insights into how complex data is reshaping the field of radiosurgery.

For more than a decade, Instituto Zunino in Córdoba, Argentina has been recognized as a regional reference center for high-precision radiotherapy. Built on long-standing clinical expertise and a strong culture of quality, the center has developed a mature SRS and SBRT program that continues to evolve through structured processes, external validation and a commitment to shared learning.
The team’s journey with Brainlab technology began in 2009 with iPlan RT and expanded in 2011 with ExacTrac X-Ray. Today, RT Elements is clinically adopted across the department of four treatment machines, supported by ExacTrac Dynamic—forming the technical backbone of daily practice.
A benchmark for quality: Novalis Certification
At Instituto Zunino, maintaining excellence means welcoming independent evaluation. First Novalis Certified in 2016, and successfully re-certified in 2020 and 2025, the team has consistently demonstrated its commitment to quality, safety and transparency. The most recent re-certification reinforces the center’s alignment with international standards and its place within the Novalis Certified community.
Why certification matters—in their own words
Silvia Zunino, MD, PhD, Director and Founder of Instituto Zunino and Fundación Marie Curie, explains: “Novalis Certification confirms that we work according to the same standards as leading centers in the United States and Europe. It gives us confidence in our methods and supports continuous improvement.”
Daniel Venencia, PhD, Head of Medical Physics, adds: “Even as an experienced institution, having our work audited helps us identify opportunities to improve. Clearly defined protocols and external review ensure our patients receive the best possible treatment.” Motivated by his commitment to excellence in SRS and SBRT and to support his colleagues, Daniel Venencia has now joined the Novalis Certification Program team as an auditor.
Beyond the clinic: sharing expertise to advance the region
Instituto Zunino’s impact extends beyond its own walls. Through Fundación Marie Curie, the team actively supports regional development by sharing protocols, workflows and clinical experience with the wider medical community. Every two years, the foundation hosts an internationally recognized SRS & SBRT congress (Congreso sobre Avances Integrados en Oncología, Radiocirugía y Física Médica: Innovación y Precisión en el tratamiento del cancer), bringing together physicians, physicists and researchers for high-level exchange. A dedicated hands-on workshop focused on Brainlab technology offers open insight into clinical workflows, physics considerations and decision-making processes—earning a strong reputation across the region. As Daniel Venencia notes: “Advancing treatment techniques, software, automation and artificial intelligence—and helping others do the same—is how we move the field forward together.”
Stories from the Circle: leadership through openness
Instituto Zunino shows that leadership in radiosurgery and radiotherapy is not defined by outcomes alone. By combining long-standing expertise with education, openness and a sustained commitment to Novalis Certification, the team actively contributes to raising standards across the region.
We’re proud to share Instituto Zunino’s story and to recognize the team’s ongoing commitment to collaboration, clinical rigor and patient-centered care.

Thank you for this motivational webinar. What is the typical time period to accomplish the certification process? How many rounds of iteration does it take typically? Are there any quantitative quality indicators?
Join our upcoming Brainlab Novalis Circle Webinar: Achieving Excellence in SRS & SBRT – The Novalis Certification Journey
Every center striving for world-class radiosurgery faces the same challenge: How do we know we’re delivering the safest, most consistent care possible?
That question is at the heart of the Novalis Certification Program—and the focus of our upcoming Brainlab Novalis Circle webinar.
Our experts will share what certification looks like in practice, why peer review matters, and how centers around the world are raising the bar for SRS and SBRT. Join Timothy Solberg, Global Radiosurgery and Foretell Medical, Seattle, USA, andLinda Carruthers, Edinburgh Cancer Centre, Edinburgh, UK, to discover how the Novalis Certification Program helps centers deliver world-class SRS & SBRT care.
Date: December 11, 2025
Time: 5:00 PM CET / 8:00 AM PST
They will discuss:
- Why independent peer review strengthens SRS & SBRT quality
- The most common clinical and workflow challenges in advanced radiosurgery
- How the Novalis Certification Program defines global benchmarks for safety
- A real-world case study from a certified center
- Live Q&A with the experts
