Integrated Clinical Systems and Services
Other companies believe in a “one-size-fits-all” IGPT solution. We believe your radiation therapy department is unique. We work with every one of our customers to put together the optimal configuration to meet your needs.
With a workflow designed to be familiar to that of a linear accelerator – the Mevion system offers a streamlined clinical experience, including oncology user-friendly screens and linac-like controls to provide a clinical environment identical to treatment delivered by linear accelerators. This reduces learning time and speeds up clinical ramp-up.
In addition, Mevion integrates with all of the major software manufacturers in radiation therapy for treatment planning and oncology information systems (OIS) including Varian Medical Systems, Elekta, RaySearch and Philips. The OIS system connectivity provides full patient treatment scheduling, data transfer, treatment, verification, and recording capabilities.
Proton therapy systems are designed for a >20 year life-span, during which clinical needs and IGPT technologies can advance dramatically. While other proton manufacturers provide a locked-in solution built into their system. This can freeze your imaging and positioning capabilities while the industry progresses into the future. Mevion is designed with a unique open architecture to keep your imaging and positioning solutions current with the future advancements and evolution in IGPT. With the potential for FLASH therapy, hypofractionation, or adaptive therapy disrupting the industry – a system that keeps you agile and upgradable is critical to your proton therapy decision.
Siemens SOMATOM® Definition Edge
Two of Mevion’s newest facilities have integrated full diagnostic CT imaging integrated into the proton workflow.
The Airo Mobile CT system is in clinical use at UF Health Cancer Center at Orlando Health and MedStar Georgetown University Hospital.
A transformative approach to image-guided patient positioning
Integral to the MEVION S250 Series, the Verity™ image-guided patient positioning system realizes the full potential of high-quality imaging necessary for precise adaptive proton therapy delivering efficient 2D/3D and 3D/3D image registration. By incorporating a diagnostic quality CT scanner inside the treatment room, along with state-of- the-art stereotactic registration and tracking technology, Verity increases treatment visibility, flexibility, predictability and adaptability to the level demanded by advanced proton therapy. The result is a truly adaptive patient positioning system that is as accurate and reliable as its name.
With great precision comes great adaptability
It is the high precision of the Bragg peak — the reason why proton therapy is regarded as an optimal means of delivering therapeutic radiation — that can present the greatest challenge to clinicians. Image quality and patient positioning accuracy are paramount when any anatomical changes can translate to treatment delivery outside of the prescribed treatment field. Verity is designed to mirror the workflow in conventional radiation therapy, allowing the therapist to move seamlessly and most importantly, confidently from patient setup, image acquisition, registration, patient positioning and verification to treatment.
The Mevion Verity image guidance and patient positioning technology has been radically transformed to meet the dynamic, three-dimensional demands of adaptive proton therapy, supporting higher resolution diagnostic images and more powerful localization tools to ensure the most precise treatment delivery.
The Catalyst PT surface tracking is new to Mevion systems and is in use at Maastro Proton Therapy in the Netherlands.
New to Mevion this year, the DYN’R SDX System is used for respiratory monitoring and measurement for the treatment of thoracic-abdominal cancers.
The Airo Mobile CT system is in clinical use at UF Health Cancer Center at Orlando Health and MedStar Georgetown University Hospital.
