Add on DMLC

Every patient deserves individualized care, whatever treatment they require. The right beam shaping solution will ensure you are able to provide the flexibility in your clinical practice to offer the optimal treatment to meet your patient’s needs. The new Apex add-on beam shaping solution brings additional versatility to your Elekta linear accelerator.  As an add-on MLC with the smallest leaf width across the largest field size, Apex facilitates practice expansion into stereotactic treatments while enabling a range of additional clinical applications.

The innovative leaf design of Apex delivers excellent physics characteristics. With the dual focused leaves following the divergence of the beam, a low uniform penumbra is created. This is supported by low transmission through the leaves to ensure low integral dose and reduced dose to organs at risk.

The quick attach and release mechanism with seamless automated leaf and gantry calibration means minimal disruption to the daily workflow, while maintaining a high level of positional accuracy.  With the largest treatment aperture in the market and with interdigitation, it provides the flexibility to treat a greater range of clinical conditions than previously possible with other add-on MLCs.

  • 2.5mm high resolution beam shaping facilitating the treatment of small fields in tight spots
  • Uniform low transmission and small linear penumbra across the entire field
  • Sharp dose gradients reduce unwanted dose, enabling dose escalation
  • Easy attach and release mechanism for minimal impact on daily workflow
  • Largest treatment aperture of 12 cm x 14 cm with interdigitation for flexibility in treatment techniques
