radiation therapy - Compu•former^®

Compu•former^® helps deliver uniform radiation over an entire treatment field. It produces a mold used to make a compensator that provides radiation beam attenuation to “compensate” for inhomogeneity. The mold is cut from a foam block using a highly accurate CNC milling machine. A Windows^® driven program interfaces with treatment planning systems for quick, accurate beam compensation.

Radiotherapy teams worldwide depend on Huestis Medical ISO9001, EN46001 and CE certified beam compensator systems. Our dedication to quality is a commitment to radiotherapy accuracy.

Features

Uniform Radiation Dosage
Delivers uniform radiation dosage over the entire treatment area.
Creates a compensating filter mold which provides radiation beam attenuation to “compensate” for inhomogeneity.

Treatment Planning Interfaces
Digitized files can be transferred from treatment planning systems.
Treatment planning file conversion is built in to ensure seamless integration.
Inhomogeneity corrections can be accomplished through TPS interface.

Versatile Options
Compu•former^® offers an efficient and economical package including computer, menu-driven program.
CNC milling machine and supplies. Optional digitizing package includes magnetic source, hand-held sensor, and non-metallic procedure table.

Manual Digitizing Option
Hand-held digitizing stylus works with a low energy magnetic field generator to record patient contours.
Data is converted to X, Y, Z coordinates and averaged into smooth contours.
Contours can be viewed on screen from any beam’s eye view to verify accuracy.
Non-metallic procedure table included.

Precision Milling Accuracy
Three-axis CNC milling machine ensures milling accuracy of ±1 mm.
Cuts offset registration holes in block to ensure proper orientation of the compensator on lexan tray.
Produces repeatable, accurate, and fast cuts for unmatched effectiveness.
Compact design saves space: 34" x 34" x 52" (86 cm x 86 cm x 132 cm).
Electrical Requirements: 120 VAC, 60 Hz, 10A (220 VAC, 50 Hz, 5A option).
