APOLLO

Remotely adjustable fixed laser system for patient positioning at LINAC Highly precise laser system you can rely on APOLLO room lasers are used for precise and repeatable positioning of radiotherapy patients. After imaging-based planning via CT or MRI, the patient is positioned at the linear accelerator. The finest laser lines project the coordinates of the LINAC isocenter onto the patient's skin, allowing the patient's position to be reproduced from the CT or MRI with millimetre accuracy. In addition, the room lasers are a fundamental component of quality assurance. They aid in the precise orientation of the phantom to achieve measurement accuracy. The APOLLO system has three (optionally four) lasers for the coronal, sagittal, and transversal body planes. You can choose the laser colour, line and/or cross laser, and mounting option, all adapted to your individual room situation. A fourth laser prevents possible shadowing from the LINAC gantry in its initial position. Thanks to their high quality, room lasers from LAP remain in use and highly precise for an above-average number of years. C-Arm LINACs The APOLLO laser system has three or four lasers for the projection of the isocentre. The fourth laser prevents shadowing from the LINAC gantry in its initial position. Bore-type LINACs The APOLLO laser system has three crosshair lasers to project a virtual isocentre with a defined offset. External lasers at bore-type LINAC The use of external lasers on the bore-type LINAC has many advantages: During patient positioning, the patient is much more accessible. Work more ergonomically as a therapist and prevent back pain. Compared to patient positioning in the bore, there is no leverage effect and positioning is less strenuous. This makes your positioning process more accurate and faster. Re-imaging after cone beam CT is required less or not at all. Keep your timeslots or even reduce them to be able to treat more patients. Patient interaction is much more comfortable and patients are more relaxed. This allows them to hold their position better, which improves the treatment result. Especially large and heavy patients can be positioned more easily.
