Secondary Dose Check

Ensures accurate radiation delivery

EPID-based pretreatment check

Optimize treatment planning and verification

EPID-based In-vivo Dosimetry

Evaluates patient dose during treatment

Secondary Dose Check

Fast, reliable and independent 3D dose calculation for adaptive radiotherapy workflows.

Using a fully independent and innovative Collapsed Cone Convolution algorithm, ThinkQA Secondary Dose Check is designed to verify if the dose distribution calculated by a Treatment Planning System (TPS) for External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT) is consistent with treatment plan parameters. It helps Radiation Therapy centers meet reporting and reimbursement needs, ensure compliance in plan quality and gain confidence in patient safety.

Compatible with linear accelerators, it has been specifically adapted to MR-Linac, supporting beam specificities and adaptive workflow.

Through its ergonomic web dashboard, the user can not only access full dose matrix analysis including automatic volume indicators, and Gamma Passing Rates, but also receive automatic report and perform approval action.

EPID-based pretreatment check

Providing fast and automated pretreatment beam check without phantom or hybrid plan.

Based on the use of EPID (Electronic Portal Imaging Device), EPID-based pretreatment check is a web-based software to check external radiotherapy beams in pretreatment conditions.

EPID-based pretreatment check automatically compares two images expressed in terms of absolute dose: 1) a predicted dose map calculated from the RT Plan; 2) a measured image acquired by an EPID and converted into a dose-to-water map.

Prior to the patient’s first fraction, it ensures the right dose delivery, correct MLC and machine functioning and integrity of data transfer.

It drastically reduces the time spent on beam controls compared to phantom-based methods, making the systematic pretreatment controls now possible!

EPID-based In-vivo Dosimetry

Monitoring dose delivery with in vivo dosimetry.

Based on EPID (Electronic Portal Imaging Device), EPID-based In-vivo Dosimetry enables health professionals to catch a patient’s dose deviation during their treatment course and to identify exactly the root causes of errors.

Equipped with 3D views and DVH graphics, EPID-based In-vivo Dosimetry offers an in situ display that lets you visualize differences between a predicted dose and a reconstructed dose, according to a 3D patient anatomy analysis.

It also alerts you in case of deviations, anytime, anywhere, within your internal hospital network.
