GAMMEX rmi® (“GAMMEX”) announced improvements in their CT
Simulation application for use on any major treatment planning system.
The CT Sim Robotic Laser Tracking System Version 6 (“CT-Sim V6”) streamlines
ergonomic factors, features DICOM support, and maintains compatibility with
GAMMEX LASERS’ red and green systems.
GAMMEX perceived a weakness in the performance
capabilities of other tracking systems and
set out to ensure a
superior product. Recent developments in
GAMMEX’s CT-Sim Tracking Systems create precision other products lack. 
CT-Sim
V6 is available with a variety of laser systems. Models
A3000A and
A3100G have three moving lasers, while
A4000A and
A4100G have one moving and two fixed
lasers. All models provide precise,
three-dimensional movement and positioning capability
with an option of red or green diodes.
The new
ProbeG
green
lasers used in the
3100 and
4100 series enhance contrast on
various skin tones, and proprietary
electronics incorporate
power-stabilizing circuitry that help extend diode life.
CT-Sim V6 conveniently includes an AutoRun feature in the software, a
handheld pendant, a CT Sim alignment phantom, user manual, calibration kit,
controller box, and all necessary cabling. Other features of the product
include Dynamic Zero Function for easy redefinition of the zero point and
display of laser coordinates with patient ID information for easy retrieval.
Packages are available that include basic
supplies as well as a medical-grade GAMMEX-approved desktop computer and 15 inch
flat panel LCD monitor.
CT-Sim V6 complies with
DICOM-RT v3.0 image transfer. For
this application,
GAMMEX supplies tools for the creation of a DICOM Storage Service Class server (SCP).
The RT Plan Storage and VerificationService Class Providers enable the transfer of DICOM messages to the
CT-Sim V6.
The GAMMEX_SCP server uses treatment plan isocenter data to position the CT Sim
lasers. Additional data from the treatment plan are presented to the user via
software control display. GAMMEX‘s server creates further simplicity by simultaneously ascribing multiple laser
positions.
CT-Sim V6 is based on the popular MERGE toolkit from Merge eFilm.
A convenient, independent laser mounting system is also available. The
versatile Stanchion System minimizes room modification, maintains compatibility
with red or green lasers, and can be configured as a complete stanchion,
gantries, or towers. Stanchions are made with durable aluminum, have
single entry point cable management, and can be customized to meet specific
needs.
