The CT Sim+, 1-Arm, Green Laser is used in the simulation stage of radiation therapy to prepare a patient for treatment. The lasers can be moved to a point that defines the radiation treatment isocenter or can be used to define the center of the CT imager. The Gammex CT Sim+ is intended to read laser positioning coordinates in a DICOM or Gammex specified software format. Typically the coordinates are calculated by a Radiation Therapy Treatment Planning System (RTPS) or CT Virtual Simulation System.
A fixed or variable focal distance lasing device assembly designed to project a harmless beam (light pattern) onto a patient's skin or other alignment device. It is typically used to position and/or monitor the position of a patient during diagnostic imaging, radiation therapy, or radiation therapy treatment planning or simulation procedures. A set of these assemblies is used to enable precise and reproducible 1, 2, or multi-dimensional alignment of a selected portion(s) of the patient's anatomy with respect to a radiation beam(s) used during diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. It typically includes a light source, mechanical/electronic controls, and associated mounting devices.
