Features
•
EPID Dosimetry Pre-Treatment QA with nothing to set up
and no phantom required, Just shift the couch out of the
way, extend the EPID and expose treatment plan.
•
3D predicted (planned) vs. absolute dose (measured)
analysis with integrated dose verification using patient CT
data set
•
EPID Dosimetry Transit QA provides confirmation of dose
delivered and measures absolute in-vivo dose in cGy
viewable in 3D on patient contour.
•
Full 3D comparison of dose within the patient, including
effects of inhomogeneities. Any dose, anywhere within
CT Volume.
•
Requires no additional linac time for physicist. Therapists run
plans and acquire portal images when convenient, Medical
Physicist does analysis off line during business hours.
•
Structure analysis provided in 3D dose volume histograms
(DVHs) and gamma volume histograms (GVHs)
•
Exceptional 0.25mm spatial resolution compared to 2D/3D
arrays. No extra detector or array to purchase and maintain.
•
Supports conventional IMRT, VMAT, RapidArc, Stereotactic,
and Transit
•
•
•
Works with any treatment planning system.
Independently measured dose calculations with or without
the patient in the beam. All correction algorithms built in.
•
Provides 2D and 3D anatomical dose results analysis of pre-treatment and on-treatment in-vivo measurements
of patients.
•
Dosimetry Check utilizes patented methods with algorithms
validated in multiple publications.
•
Purchase includes all computer hardware and software,
plus on site set-up, commissioning and training.
•
Actual patient plan and dose distribution is verified – not
recalculated dose to a (frequently homogeneous) phantom.
Works with Elekta iView portal imager; Varian’s portal
vision; R and E arm portal imagers and Siemens Optiview
