The dedicated software application used to create, optimize, and review treatment plans for the ZAP-X Radiosurgery System. It provides the functionalities for the import, registration, and fusion of imaging studies, the delineation of target volumes and organs at risk (OARs), the calculation and optimization of the radiation dose, and the creation of planning reports. The application is installed on dedicated workstations that are directly connected to the other ZAP-X components.
A stationary assembly of computer-based devices designed to produce high-energy electrons to yield high-energy x-rays used to perform stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) to treat brain, neck, or spinal cord tumours, and/or to perform stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). It consists of a linear accelerator with a moveable/rotating gantry, collimators, patient table, and an operator's console. A metal head frame attached to the patient's skull may be used for precise radiation beam targeting using fiducial references; the system may include CBCT-based image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT), 3-D imaging, and record/verify functionalities to track target location during treatment.
