SGRT systems and room lasers assist with patient positioning in LINACs and support quality assurance. By providing a comparison of the patient’s actual contour with the reference contour, and long, clearly visible laser lines, they can save you time when aligning your patient on a linear accelerator, and ensure that irradiation is pinpoint-accurate.
Precise positioning for successful treatment
Systems for surface-guided radiotherapy serve to support reproducible patient positioning, to allow patient movement tracking with breath-controlled treatments, and to aid quality assurance.
Room lasers are used for precise positioning of the patient. Extremely fine laser lines project the LINAC isocenter coordinates onto the patient’s skin, enabling millimeter-accurate positioning to be reproduced in CT/MRI. Room lasers additionally support precise phantom alignment, thereby contributing to measurement accuracy.
