Elekta has developed several clinical packages to meet market needs. Please contact your local Elekta representative or authorized distributor for more details.
Clinical package
- Elekta Compact™
- PrecisePLAN®
- Precise Table
- Advanced Service
PrecisePLAN®
PrecisePLAN is easy-to-use and enables the creation of high precision plans that are easy and safe to verify and deliver. PrecisePLAN software takes advantage of modern, powerful PC hardware and safe operating system (RedHat Linux) to provide fast treatment planning solutions.
Patient treatment plan quality assurance is enabled by output of familiar physics quantities and may be verified by independent Monitor Unit check programs.
PrecisePLAN users have a full range of support services after installation and configuration that include physics services for beam data commissioning, as well as training courses for new users and for software release updates.
Precise Table
Precise Table offers functions and features to support an increasingly broad range of radiotherapy applications. The extensive range of tabletops available with Precise Table offers clinical flexibility, whilst the large vertical table movement range enables the treatment of large fields at extended distances and irradiation from beneath with a source-to-skin distance of up to 150cm.
Through its unique, patented Z-drive mechanism, Precise Table achieves unparalleled positional accuracy at both extremes of elevation. For stereotactic applications the table provides an exceptional combination of positional accuracy and access to the head-and-neck area for treatment from a wide range of angles. The low minimum height of Precise Table means easier access for patients. A smooth, easy-to-clean covering makes it as comfortable and hygienic as possible.
Advanced Service
- Physics commissioning
- Treatment planning data entry
- On-site applications training
- Three-year full parts and labor contract.
Stereotactic package
Stereotactic radiation therapy and stereotactic neurosrugery
- Elekta Compact™
- ERGO++
- Precise Table
- Dynamic mMLC
- Stereotactic cones
- Advanced Service
ERGO++
Despite its range of possibilities Ergo++ is designed in a very user-friendly way. Its application is intuitive, making it easy to learn and its simple graphical user interface (GUI) helps ensure that Ergo++ is a valuable and reliable tool for the entire radiation oncology or neurosurgery team. Ergo++ enables highly conformal and complex plans to be performed in a split second, ensuring the maximum possible dose is delivered to the target volume while minimizing the dose to surrounding critical structures. A new pencil beam algorithm now makes beam data modeling easier.
Dynamic mMLC
The dynamic micro multileaf collimator (dynamic mMLC) offered by Elekta is the most versatile technology available today for fulfilling SRS requirements and is compatible with any of the range of Elekta linear accelerators.
There are three dynamic micro multileaf add-on collimators to choose from providing a 3mm, 5mm and 7mm leaf width (at isocenter) and 7 x 7cm, 10 x 12cm and 10 x 17cm fieldsize (at isocenter), respectively.
All options offer dynamic treatments and the improved homogeneity in target shaping, including minimizing dose to critical organs, that this provides. The 3mm and 5mm dynamic micro multileaf collimators are certified for use up to 18MV making it an extremely versatile tool for SRT and SRS.
To optimize beam shaping provided by the Elekta add on micro MLC, the leaves have been designed to be dual focussed, minimizing and homogenizing the penumbra. Leakage and unwanted dose outside the target area is limited by the tongue and groove design of the leaves and the 8cm leaf height.
Stereotactic cones
Elekta offer a range of stereotactic cones, which facilitate the implementation of SRS and SRT and are compatible with any of the range of Elekta linear accelerators. To optimize stereotactic field shaping a range of 11 cones are available in varying sizes from 5mm to 50mm.
Cones are placed into a universal collimator holder, which securely attaches to the treatment head and enables micrometric adjustments to be made to the cone position; ensuring optimal accuracy is always achieved.
