Acuity | Technology

For a more efficient process – plan verify on Acuity.

For a more efficient process – plan verify on Acuity.

Acuity supersedes the Ximatron and is a total redesign taking advantage of new technology to provide a product that delivers the highest specification and capabilities required to support advanced simulation, planning and verification in one product.

Acuity integrates seamlessly with ARIA oncology information systems, the Eclipse treatment planning system and BrachyVision 3D image-based planning system.

All manufacturers' treatment machines, accessory mounts and MLC's can be simulated and verified on Acuity.

Acuity uses standard DICOM interfaces to connect to other manufacturers' planning systems and oncology equipment.

Key features
  • Fixed gantry gives Acuity the highest isocentric accuracy specification in it's field.
  • High quality 2D and 3D imaging
  • Complete set of automated features
  • Commonality in hardware and software
  • Ability to simulate competitor linear accelerators, cobalt machines and accessories eg MLC
  • 2D and 3D imaging on one system
Benefits at a glance
  • Higher isocentric accuracy provides a system that can more accurately verify complex plans before treatment.
  • High quality reference images makes the process of verification during treatment more efficient.
  • Verifying the plan on Acuity before treatment means that the patients first treatment appointment is for treatment delivery and not for verification.
  • Common Exact or Exact IGRT couch means that set up inaccuracies can be eliminated.
  • Common user interface in the Varian environment reduces training requirements as users will be familiar with the standard aspects of the system.
  • With Acuity you can select the machine to be used for treatment and the same scales, movement ranges and MLC will be applied during simulation and verification.
  • Simulation, planning and verification can occur on one system–Acuity.
