Radiation Therapy

• High volume coverage in time (16 X2.0 mm in 0.6 s)

minimizing motion artifacts and breath hold time

• Thin slice imaging for high quality DRRs (Digitally

Reconstructed Radiograph) and MPRs, especially for
conformal 3D therapy and IMRT (Intensity Modu-
lated Radiation Therapy)

• Complete CT simulation solution providing higher

geometrical accuracy of table and lasers and the
integration of flat table inserts
