"Monaco 5 provides us with Segment Shape Optimization for the dynamic MLC, in addition to feet-first orientation of the CT scan, which enables us to set up CT scans for patients who have tumors in the lower abdomen or extremities," says Jens Fleckenstein, PhD, physicist at University Medical Centre Mannheim (Mannheim, Germany). "We also will be able to develop 3D plans, and there are some contouring features - such as a pearl tool that allows you to draw freehand contours - that are much better in Monaco 5."
Elekta also will highlight Identify™, a system utilizing radiofrequency identification (RFID) technology for full confidence in patient and equipment identification during patient setup, thus increasing patient safety. From the moment the patient enters the CT or treatment room, Identify positively verifies the right patient and the accessories required for their treatment.
