Proton Therapy Compensator Milling Unit

The ACD3mk4 is a specialized proton therapy compensator milling unit that combines advanced functionality with a user-friendly interface. It is specifically engineered to meet the rigorous demands of modern radiotherapy, supporting both IMRT and proton therapy applications. The system is built with a powerful milling capability, allowing it to mill materials up to 80 mm in Z-value. This is a critical feature for producing IMRT calculated beam modifiers using high-density materials like iron granules. The ACD3mk4 integrates seamlessly into clinical workflows, featuring a comprehensive Windows software package that is compatible with Windows 7 through 11 and includes all clinically relevant filter processing options. Its ability to interface with any commercially available Planning System, including DICOM RT systems, ensures smooth data transfer and a streamlined process from treatment planning to physical compensator creation.

How It Works

The ACD3mk4 simplifies the creation of intricate beam modifiers. After importing patient-specific data from a planning system, the integrated software visualizes the filter volume and weight. Users can then mill compensators or eye shields directly into Styrofoam blocks or solid alloy materials using a specialized adapter. The unit’s dual-level vacuum system operates quietly to maintain a clean environment during the milling process. The extensive patient library can be shared across a server, enabling multiple units to access patient data and further optimize the workflow.

Benefits

• Enhanced Precision: The high repeatability and deep milling capability ensure the creation of highly accurate patient-specific compensators, critical for precise dose delivery in IMRT and proton therapy.
• Streamlined Workflow: Seamless integration with existing planning systems and a shareable patient library reduce manual steps and increase operational efficiency.
• Compact & Quiet: Its compact design and low-noise vacuum system allow for easy integration into any mould room environment without causing disruption.
• Versatile and Adaptable: The ability to handle various materials and interface with different systems makes it a flexible solution for multiple clinical needs.

Clinical Scenarios

The ACD3mk4 is an ideal tool for departments specializing in proton therapy and IMRT. It is particularly valuable for producing high-precision, patient-specific compensators and eye shielding filters. The ability to mill up to 80 mm allows for the creation of intricate beam modifiers required for complex treatment plans, ensuring targeted dose delivery while protecting healthy tissue.
