| Radionics
delivers the fastest IMRT package on the market. This module, in conjunction with the Radionics MMLC™ Mini-Multileaf Collimator, allows for precision conformal dose distribution to treat complex, irregularly-shaped tumors impinging on sensitive, normal tissue. The combined system is all it takes to produce and deliver optimally-shaped conformal treatment plans.
The planner
specifies dose or dose-volume constraints for normal and target
structures, as well as penalties for overdosing or underdosing.
When the program is activated, a quadratic objective function is
defined, which minimizes the difference between actual and desired
dose for each voxel contained in the anatomes.
Radionics IMRT average calculation times run extremely fast — less than 1 minute, versus the 20 to 30 minutes required by other systems.
Automatic Segmentation and Delivery
Radionics IMRT includes a built-in sequencer optimized for the physical characteristics and limitations of each MLC. Automated electronic interfaces for Varian™, Siemens™, and Elekta™ accelerators allow hands-free, fail-safe synchronization and delivery.
Features and Benefits
- IMRT calculations are optimized for small-field delivery using the Radionics MMLC™ Mini Multileaf Collimator
- Fully integrated with XKnife™ RT system for stereotactic localization and set-up
- Scatter and kernel based dose algorithms
- Faster optimization
than conventional IMRT systems; allows multiple options to be
evaluated in minutes
