For Commissioning and Treatment Planning
The Proton Therapy Dosimetry Head is constructed of tissue-equivalent materials that mimic reference tissues within 1.5% for protons and within 1% for 50 KeV to 15 MeV photons. The Proton Therapy Dosimetry Head can be used during all standard IMRT procedures, from acquisition of CT images through to verification of proton beam delivery.
Tissue Equivalent Technology
Tissue equivalence of detailed internal structures makes the phantom ideal for evaluating treatment plans at high density gradient sites, which are specifically important in proton therapy, such as air cavity vs. bone structures. Internal structures include brain, bone with cortical and trabecular distinction, larynx, trachea, fully open sinus cavities, nasal and oral cavities, and teeth with distinct dentin, enamel and root structure.
The Proton Therapy Dosimetry Head approximates the average male head in size and structure, allowing for intuitive configuration with any patient positioning or fixation device.
