1 So much is asked of medical physicists these days We Can Help Automated Radiation Therapy Phantom Analysis in Seconds QC for Therapy OBI s and CT simulators. Radia s Catphan/OBI module performs analysis of kv and MV Cone Beam CT images using the Catphan or Siemens phantoms. Phantom images for Varian, Elekta and Siemans Cone Beam CTs are measured automatically and compared to manufacture recommendations and then given both Pass/ Fail and numeric results. Radia s Electron Density/Tissue Characterization Module eliminates many manual steps by automatically evaluating the density areas in the CIRS, Gammex, or Tomo Cheese phantoms. And, it s no longer necessary to move the ROI around within each density plug to identify the best sample location. This module automatically optimizes the position of the density sample to get the most uniform value for the measurement, saving you lots of time and giving you the highest accuracy. Phantom images are measured automatically and given both Pass/Fail and numeric results. RITtrend allows you to effectively manage all your physics QA data in one powerful and customizable package. RITtrend allows you to tag your data with customizable fields enabling you to design, store and recall queries producing the exact data you want to view and analyze. RITtrend allows you to design and store multiple specification sets for your data so you can be alerted when your data exceeds those specifications. Use standard specification sets from TG142 or customize your own. RITtrend allows you to define baselines for your data so you can look at your data relative to the baseline or in absolute terms. A must for TG142 compliance! The new Multi Source Data Manager s customizable format allows you to add analysis data from any and all equipment used in your Medical Physics program.

2 It s On Everyone s Minds. Meeting TG142 Best Practice Guidelines. Radia and RIT113 Classic performs or trends EVERY daily, weekly, monthly and annual imaging and dosimetry test recommended in TG142. A medical physics department with the RIT package and corresponding phantoms has everything they need. Please refer to the RIT TG142 datasheet for a complete list. Our DR/CR/Fluoro Module kv imaging tests are used to measure the full field performance of OBI systems on Linacs and Cyberknife. Complete tests of Contrast, Uniformity, Noise, Modulation, kv, and Geometric Distortion are performed over large field areas ( 30 cm x 30 cm ). These tests ensure compliance with the TG142 Table 6 recommendations for Planar kv imaging. Radia s PTW Epid QC Module confirms the EPID image quality by measuring Signal to Noise in multiple areas, Geometric Accuracy, Resolution, and Contrast over large imaging areas (26x26 cm at isocenter), exceeding TG142 table 6 recommendations for MV imaging. A medical physics department with the RIT package and corresponding phantoms has everything they need. Radia gives you the same results you get from your own analysis, but a whole lot faster. Clinical studies show that Radia analysis is equal to trained observers in every comparison, and because it is objective, consistent and repeatable the need for review is completely eliminated. Our A big leap in image quality and efficiency incredibly fast batch analysis is an added bonus that takes it to a whole new level. Because it s so quick, users report that they are able to do ALL of the image analysis that s required for TG142 compliance! That s a big leap in image quality and efficiency.

3 Plan your service downtime at your departments convenience. Our RITtrend Statistical Process Control analysis shows you how your equipment performs over time and shows you decline in image quality before it falls below minimums. You can schedule service at your convenience before the machine has to go down. Delegate with Complete Confidence Radia lets you train a therapist to easily perform daily, weekly or any QC checks with automated analysis and reports that keep you informed. Setup is quick and easy for you, and then with one click by a staff member Radia automatically performs the objective analysis and generates reports to the RITtrend database, other system of your choice, or output reports that can be sent to you. Red/Green light notifications identify when image quality is within or outside of your specifications. You can have the confidence that image quality is correctly measured no matter who executes the testing! Radia s imaging scoring algorithms are adjustable. Radia s default values are set to score from the average of a group of Physicists, but you can easily adjust and set the sensitivity of each scoring module to match your own observations. With one click, Radia automatically performs the objective analysis and generates reports.

4 Analyze large batches and even historical data that you ve archived in just minutes. Radia s RunQueueC scripting feature provides fast, easy batch analysis that can be performed on entire directories of images in a single operation. After a simple setup establishing your personal protocols, choose image batches from one machine, a group of machines, or even machines located throughout a hospital system. Reports are automatically generated with pass/fails clearly indicated, and added to the RITtrend database which shows you image quality measurements over time. After your one-time setup, use it again and again. Or better yet, have someone else do it for you, again and again. Or better yet, have someone else do it for you. Select Your Images Select from options to create an unlimited number of reusable analysis protocols & reporting scripts Select Analysis Routine Choose an unlimited number of images to create a batch and execute one of your pre-established protocols to auto-generate reports Click Analyze Individually analyze any number of images in seconds. Radia Sequencer The NEW Radia Sequencer allows users to populate the Radia RunQueueC work list with a predefined set of images and analyses in just a single click. The user can define any number of custom sequences using the sequence editor. The sequences can pull slices from absolute or relative slice locations and even average over several slices as they are imported. Once imported a single click will analyze the entire image set at once!
