microSTARii Dosimetry System and Reader

microSTARii Dosimetry System and Reader

Product introduction           

• In radiation oncology, patient safety is at the center of public concern and regulatory scrutiny. Increasingly complex treatment protocols and evolving standards have further raised the bar for radiation safety, increasing the risks faced by healthcare facilities.

• As part of a patient quality assurance program, there are many reasons for independent verification of planned doses during or prior to first radiation treatment, including adherence to professional therapeutic practice guidelines, risk reduction, and improved safety and quality of care.

• Patient-specific dosimetry provides important information for early identification and correction of potential errors or omissions in delivering prescribed doses. The nanoDot medical dosimeter and microSTARii medical dosimetry system with LANDAUER's optical luminescence (OSL) technology offer a simple, flexible wireless alternative to diodes or field effect transistors (mosfets) for in vivo1 dosimetry, and also Can be used with QA phantoms to qualify machine output.

MicroSTARii medical dosimetry readout using nanoDots is simple and efficient

• Instant, independent verification of planned doses with nanoDot dosimeters

• Advanced Pulse OSL technology increases reading accuracy and reading times

• Fast and efficient individual dosimeter readings near the point of use

• Small and lightweight, easy to carry

Tailor-made software for medical dosimetry applications that simplifies analysis, reporting, and reporting

• Built-in and automated quality control (QC) functions for efficient implementation of the LANDAUER microSTAR readout quality assurance program

• Patient-centric workflow with additional fields to support automatic rereading of patient and exposure information, improving accuracy and efficiency

• Built-in dose reporting simplifies the reimbursement process

nanoDOT dosimeter features and benefits

• nanoDot medical dosimeters have a wide operating energy range (5 keV to 20 MeV) and are ideal solutions for dosimetric verification in radiation oncology and other single-point dosimetry applications - linear dose response up to 3 Gy; software supports nonlinearity Calibration, up to 15 Gy

• Reanalysis function (non-destructive readout)

• Disposable dosimeters, no dosimeter preparation required

• Dosimeters are barcoded for complete chain of custody

• Has minimal angular or energy dependence in the megavolt energy range

• Accuracy within ±5.5% for photons and electrons from 5 MeV-20 MeV*

• Dosimeters can be placed anywhere on the body and are wireless and radiolucent

• For measuring dose at target point

• Can be used for on-site and off-site measurements

• Surface dosimetry without accumulation or depth measurement with accumulation
