AlignRT® employs proprietary 3D imaging technology to produce high resolution and accurate 3D surface data referenced to the treatment isocentre.

AlignRT® utilizes two ceiling mounted 3D camera units, designed to image the patient at simulation or treatment. At each treatment fraction, the system images the current patient position instantaneously. AlignRT® is able to gate its image capture so that 3D data are acquired at a reproducible point in the breathing cycle.

State of the art surface matching software registers these data to the reference surface within seconds. Couch shifts are displayed to show inconsistencies between existing and ideal treatment positions. New co-ordinates for the optimal couch position are then displayed and may be applied. Interfaces are available to allow auto adjustment of certain third party treatment couches.



Tools are provided to allow the user to compare the treatment position with the reference surface both inside the room and remotely. These include a colour coded display, quantitative statistics and SSD checking functionality.

With the advent of image guidance and higher precision radiotherapy, there is an increasing need for continuous surveillance and the monitoring of any intra-fraction patient movement. AlignRT® provides an advanced real time 3D surveillance capability which may be used remotely from the control room. A continuously updating colour coded display may be viewed throughout treatment. In addition, selected regions of the patient’s surface may be monitored in real time. Any movements outside user defined tolerances are detected automatically.

The DICOM RT import module allows contours extracted from CT to be imported into AlignRT as reference “record” data. PlanRT® provides tools for extracting skin contours, estimating lung contours for breast planning, and for exporting data in DICOM RT format.

AlignRT® modules: Find out more about modules which provide additional functionality to the AlignRT® platform product.

• DICOM RT import:
  • This allows contours, extracted from CT data and stored in DICOM RT format, to be imported to AlignRT to be used as a reference for patient setup.
    
     
• Varian 4DITC interface:
  • This modules provides connectivity between the Varian 4D Integrated Treatment Console to the AlignRT system. This allows the new couch coordinates computed by AlignRT to be fed to the treatment couch automatically.
     
• PlanRT:
  • PlanRT provides contour extraction functionality. In addition a lung model allows the esimation of lung contours from 3D skin surface and medial X-ray data. All generated contours may be exported in DICOM RT format.
