HeadAnd neck brachytherapy

Why brachytherapy for head and neck?

  • Brachytherapy is an important and successful part of the multidisciplinary treatment of head and neck cancer
  • 可以用作单独的单独治疗或与外部光束放射治疗组合
  • 有价值的救助治疗

Applicator selection

诊断成像指导涂抹器选择


头部和颈部涂抹器

Our wide array of applicators are available for many applications, the Nasopharyngeal applicator and different sizes of flexible catheters with corresponding buttons can be used for different head and neck body areas.

Nasopharyngeal applicator

Applicator insertion

鹿特丹鼻咽癌模器最优dose shaping in nasopharyngeal cavities The Rotterdam nasopharyngeal mold is manufactured from a flexible silicone material to easily shape the radiation dose in the nasopharyngeal cavity. It consists of two channels on the upper surface to optimize the dose distribution and reduce the surface dose. The mold can remain in place for a series of treatment fractions, while the treatment catheters will be replaced per fraction. This way, patient discomfort between fractions is minimized. Why the Rotterdam nasopharyngeal mold applicator?

  • 容易符合一系列鼻咽腔尺寸
  • Dual-channel design for optimized dose distribution
  • Quick catheter reinsertion for follow-up fractions

Imaging

Determine applicator position relative to tumor and OaR


Image data set for treatment planning is obtained through X-ray, CT or MR imaging. The image quality determines the applictor visibility for correct recontruction It also give the anatomy landscap which shows the tumor and the OaR

“I wanted an applicator that was easy to use, did not require a general anesthetic and that would closely conform to the mucosa of the nasopharynx. I found it in the Rotterdam nasopharyngeal applicator.”

治疗计划

Homogeneous dose delivery on the target while sparing the OaR


Oncentra胸罩chy

综合治疗计划软件

设计最佳剂量分配可能是耗时的工作。最新版本的Oncentra Brachy提供了一系列有用的工具,可简化许多重复性任务,例如轮廓化和重建。Oncentra Brachy购买了您的时间,专注于什么内容:创建最佳剂量分布。

Oncentra Brachy还可以帮助您优化治疗计划准确性,为任何提供每个感兴趣区域提供最相关信息的飞机提供轻松导航。重复任务的模板解决方案,例如新的植入式建模工具和流行的涂抹器建模功能,有助于减少植入物重建时间。DVH预设和ROI目录管理器可以帮助提高准确性和再现性。强大的逆计划优化自动化基于卷的规划,使过程快速高效。


Reduce implant reconstruction time

  • 瞬间涂抹器重建与解剖学相关
  • 包含Elekta妇科涂抹器的完整几何体
  • Includes the measured source paths of ring applicators
  • Accounts for dose attenuation resulting from shielding during planning and shields are fully visible

Dose distribution calculated by ACE

  • Algorithm based on the TG-186 recommendations published by the AAPM workgroup in 2012
  • Algorithm based on the TG-186 recommendations published by the AAPM workgroup in 2012
  • 歧视组织,空气和骨之间
  • Accounts for tissue heterogeneities, lack of backscatter from areas with no tissue, applicator attenuation and shielding

植入式建模工具

  • Reconstruct multicatheter implants immediately
  • Drag & Drop 3D applicator geometry for accurate and fast reconstruction
  • 额外的坐标系(ECS)允许快速轻松地导航到正确的平面视图

Automatic dose optimization

IPSA

  • Paired with the Dwell Time Deviation Constraint (DTDC)
  • Limits high variation in dwell times

哈普

  • 用停留时间梯度限制改善计划优化(DTGR)
  • Control high and low peaks in dwell times
  • 焦点优化需要针头锁定

Treatment delivery

Safe, simple, intuitive brachytherapy workflow


Five simple features are the basis for the Flexitron way of working, introducing a new standard in treatment delivery

  • Standardized transfer lengths, less prone to human errors during reconstruction as there is only one indexer length.
  • 在涂抹器的入口处参考零,无需测量远端尖端。
  • Metric dwell position numbering, 1 mm step size in a treatment window of 400 mm.
  • 向前踏步导致在0,5mm精度范围内的可重复源定位
  • Intuitive user interface, smooth navigation saves time.

Why Flexitron?

  • Simple quality assurance
  • 大型植入物的40个通道选项
  • 连接到Mosaiq®等主要肿瘤系统
  • 安全投资未来升级潜力
  • Available in either Iridium-192 or Cobalt-60*
