| 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.
