TargetCheck is customized software that allows for images to be fused with pre-treatment, digitally reconstructed radiographs.
TargetCheck software allows for:
- Immediate verification of patient position
- Remote viewing via web browser
- Auto-field placement detection
- Physician approval electronically stamped
- Image field edge detection
- Daily QC for MLC leaf tracking
- Qualifies for CPT 77421 reimbursements
- Image-Guided Radiotherapy - IGRT
Automatic Field Size & Shape Detection
Using the mouse, the oncologist or therapist can quickly "point and click" on the TargetCheck icon, indicating the correct field shape and outline. Once entered, TheraView automatically stores and compares the reference image field outline with the selected online image. The analysis is displayed as a combination of red and green lines: Green for approval, red for error detection.
Automated Field Placement Detection
The TheraView user can predefine protocols with his/her own error limits for field shape, size, and patient position error limits. The therapist can quickly "point and click" to define the anatomical template on the reference image. Once entered, TheraView stores and proportionally scales the anatomical data, projects the outline over the online image, and is then ready for placement and analysis. TargetCheck will display a message bar indicating the final status of the setup: green for approval, red for error detection. On completion of TargetCheck, the results can be stored directly to disk, and fed into TCSA. The measurements are graphically displayed. The graph gives sequential representations of the treatments with respect to time/fractions.
TheraView TargetCheck makes it possible to check the field shape and analyze the position of the patient automatically. TargetCheck with automated treatment beam shape verification and patient position verification software gives the precision and control radiation oncology clinicians need for both conventional, Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) and Image-Guided radiotherapy (IGRT).
