CT flat-panel table inserts securely lock into the CT cradle, providing a surface consistent with your treatment couch for accurate and reproducible patient positioning.
Made of carbon fiber with a foam core, this series of CT inserts features Indexed Patient Positioning.™ Each longitudinal edge of the insert has a series of indents/notches that receive the MED-TEC indexing bar – which accommodates a MED TEC patient fixation accessory. The notch locations have the same spacing and nomenclature as the Varian Exact™ system, consistent with all of the MED-TEC Indexed Patient Positioning Systems (IPPS™) products.
This CT insert is very lightweight yet very durable in its construction. It can easily be removed and reinserted for diagnostic studies. The attachment mechanics ensure that once the top is reinserted on the cradle, it will be level and stable throughout the imaging process. Integral aluminum wire fiducials provide a non-symmetric artifact-free reference to determine CT data orientation in the TPS. The fiducials are divergent as well, to determine slice position/sequence within the data set.
Features
- Indexing features standardize patient setup throughout the clinic, from imaging and simulation through treatment.
- Securely attaches to the CT cradle, ensuring repeatable level and orthogonal orientation of the patient.
- Orthogonal and stable patient positioning allows clinician to use CT lasers to place accurate isocenter marks on the patient.
- Extremely durable, lightweight construction of Rohacell foam and carbon fiber is easy to clean and weighs less than 14 kg.
- Low-density surface for easy autocontouring within TPS.
- Divergent non-symmetric aluminum wire fiducials to define data/patient orientation and slice orientation.
- Can be easily removed for diagnostic studies.
- Available for most CT scanners.
