Fiberplast

• Our newest premium patent-pending thermoplastic.
• Combines our world renowned Aquaplast with
  Kevlar
• More rigid (1.5 times more rigid)
• Shrinks less, and therefore increases patient
  comfort.

5
kVue Couchtop

• State-of-the-art radiotherapy couchtop that is
  optimized for the most recent advances in
  treatment and imaging technology
• Completely metal free in the cantilevered portion
  of the couch.
• Eliminates the need to rotate the couchtop 180
  degrees and then reposition the patient for
  unobstructed treatments.
• Load rated to 250kg (550 lb).
• Actual patient weight limit is a function of the
  couch base specifications.

6
Moving Beam Technology

• kVue is designed with movable carbon fiber
  support beams.
• Beams can be repositioned with the patient in
  place on the couchtop
• Infinitely variable location of beams

7
Stealth Beam Technology

• Low electron generation.
• Anti-artifacting and completely metal free.

8
Dosemax Technology

• Eliminates the sag found in tennis racket or
  carbon fiber grid inserts.
• Generates an approximate 2 mm shift in the Dose
  Depth Curve ? compared to a 7 mm shift for a
  typical foam core insert.

9
kVue CT Overlay

• Uses upper 25mm of the kVue Treatment Couchtop
  and accepts the same couchtop inserts
• Has same geometry and dosimetric properties as
  the kVue Couchtop
• No longer need to estimate correction factors for
  attenuation (and electron generation) caused by
  the treatment couchtop.
• Couchtop and devices are now in planning data set.

X-Mark Fiducial Markers
11
X-Mark Features

• Higher visibility, greater versatility, fewer
  needle insertions
• Longer than a seed, the elongated X-MARK not only
  provides greater visibility, it also delivers
  more information with fewer needle sticks. Both
  ends of each marker act as reference points,
  giving the information of two seeds with one
  X-MARK.
• Visibility uncompromised
• The cross sectional density of gold will not
  change as the X-MARK flexes with the movement of
  the tissue, so there is no loss of cross
  sectional density, and no fear of diminished
  visibility.
• Engineered to be stable in tissue
• The independent band design enhances the markers
  grip in tissue by creating a highly textured,
  rather than smooth surface. The inherent
  stability adds assurance for the physician, and
  can lead to decreased wait time before beginning
  treatment.
• Cost-effective
• X-MARK is the lowest-cost flexible elongated
  marker available today.
