Patient specific phantom adaptation

For measurements with OCTAVIUS 4D the OCTAVIUS Detector 1600 SRS can be used with the OCTAVIUS Top SRS plus. With a diameter of 21 cm the resulting homogeneous cylinder geometry adapts the anatomy of a human head perfectly in SRS treatments of the brain.

In addition, for either SBRT procedures (e.g. stereotactic treatment of lung metastases) or other clinical entities the OCTAVIUS Detector 1600 SRS can be combined with the 32 cm OCTAVIUS Top Standard, emphasizing its multifunctional nature.

Optimal size for multi target SRS treatments

Stereotactic treatments require high radiological and, most importantly, spatial precision which should be checked for each patient individually.
Besides 2D patient plan verification OCTAVIUS Detector 1600 SRS allows independent 3D patient plan verification when combined with OCTAVIUS 4D. Due to its high spatial resolution (2.5 mm) and its large detector area of 15 x 15 cm² OCTAVIUS 1600 SRS allows patient specific QA of SRS treatments, especially of those including multiple, widely spaced target volumes even in different planes (e.g. multiple metastases in stereotactic brain applications).

3D verification of multiple, widely-spaced target volumes within a single measurement
No repeated and time-consuming measurements of individual/grouped target volumes requiring couch/detector shifts
True 3D patient-specific QA - perfect coverage of multiple target volumes in different planes
Calculation of 3D volume gamma metrics

Recently TPS and Linac manufacturers introduced new solutions
for efficient planning of SRS treatments of multiple target
volumes with a single isocenter. These applications
often include multiple widely-spaced target volumes easily
covered with the large detector area of 15 x 15 cm².
In combination with OCTAVIUS 4D even multiple target volumes
in different planes can be detected within one measurement.

Commissioning of SRS/SBRT techniques

PTW OCTAVIUS detectors have proven to be accurate tools for planar dose measurements.

Especially for radiotherapy departments implementing SRS/SBRT delivery techniques into their clinical practice, OCTAVIUS 1600 SRS can support and facilitate the commissioning process.

True verification of non-coplanar SRS treatments

Conventional SRS treatments and especially modern single isocenter SRS treatments use a mixture of coplanar and non-coplanar beams improving the dose conformity.

Together with OCTAVIUS 4D the new OCTAVIUS Detector 1600 ^SRS represents an ideal tool for true 3D verification of SRS treatments with non-coplanar beams:

True & simple 3D verification of SRS deliveries with non-coplanar beams – verification of the real patient plan with couch angles collapsed to 0°
Arbitrary couch angles up to 90°/270° supported - no limitations of couch angles with respect to beam quality

Our verification software VeriSoft offers multiple special tools to analyze patient specific QA

Fast and user-friendly CyberKnife QA

The CyberKnife is a high precision robotic radiosurgery device for stereotactic treatments. Because of the small target volumes and the high doses, it is important that the system guarantees high accuracy.

Why use OCTAVIUS Detector 1600 SRS for CyberKnife QA:

The negligible angular dependence of the OCTAVIUS Detector 1600 SRS makes it to an efficient tool for CyberKnife QA.
The high resolution detector and the CyberKnife marker plate guarantee a fast and user-friendly workflow for patient-specific QA.
Suitable for machine QA such as Iris QA or the Laser and Radiation Coincidence Check.
