EPIbeam

Providing fast and automated pretreatment beam check without phantom or hybrid plan

Based on the use of EPID (Electronic Portal Imaging Device), EPIbeam is a web-based software to check external radiotherapy beams in pretreatment conditions.

EPIbeam automatically compares two images expressed in terms of absolute dose: 1) a predicted dose map calculated from the RT Plan; 2) a measured image acquired by an EPID and converted into a dose-to-water map.

Prior to the patient’s first fraction, it ensures the right dose delivery, correct MLC & machine functioning and integrity of data transfer.

It drastically reduces the time spent on beam controls compared to phantom-based methods, making the systematic pretreatment controls now possible!
