Particle
beam treatments for cancer - for example the proton
irradiation therapy - are a type of external beam therapy.
For the success of particle beam treatments, the high
precision of the patients positioning in treatment rooms
is essential to the procedure. Medcom has developed
an international de-facto standard for positioning &
verification for proton
irradiations: Verisuite is a high precision patient
verification system, optimized for fast clinical workflow
in treatment rooms.
Leading vendors worldwide for particle
therapy systems like I.B.A, Varian-Accel and Elekta
are benefiting from the preciseness of the fast automatic
calculation, which allows to verify and control the
patients position with a correction vector for positioning
and correction in 6 degrees of freedom to a sub-millimeter.
