Secondary dose checks ensure safe and accurate delivery of adaptive radiotherapy
- Adaptive radiotherapy tailors each cancer treatment fraction to the patient's daily anatomy, improving target conformality and minimizing damage to healthy tissue.
- Daily scans, such as MR images from an MR-Linac, allow treatment plans to be adjusted for anatomical changes in the tumor and surrounding tissue.
- Hospital Almater in Mexico uses Elekta ONE | QA, powered by ThinkQA Secondary Dose Check software, to ensure safe and accurate adaptive plans.
- Secondary dose checks are crucial for verifying that calculated dose distributions match actual patient anatomy, enhancing treatment safety.
- ThinkQA SDC's unique dose calculation method, designed for Elekta Unity, facilitates patient-specific QA without shifting the patient.
- The software's rapid and accurate secondary dose verification is essential for adaptive radiotherapy treatments, like those using an MR-Linac.
- ThinkQA SDC offers an efficient workflow for delivering external-beam radiation on an Elekta Unity MR-Linac, improving treatment quality.
- The software's ease of integration and commissioning, along with robust gamma evaluations, make it a preferred choice for radiotherapy QA.
- ThinkQA SDC saves time, enhances confidence in treatment delivery, and helps identify setup errors and planning issues before treatment.
- Using ThinkQA SDC provides a reliable, flexible, and time-saving method for secondary dose calculations in adaptive radiotherapy, aiding in optimal patient care.
