The Challenges:

  • Compliance and certification to key medical standards and operational up to 3,000 metres
  • Platforms must eliminate dose metric errors due to communication delays
  • Computers must be depended upon to reliably reproduce the shape of radiotherapy beams designated by the clinician
  • Radiation dosages must be administered and recorded accurately
  • Images, documents and information must be easily accessed by multiple stakeholders
  • Computers are designed to meet specific application and user requirements

The Solution

  • Designed and developed to fully satisfy regulatory and altitude requirements
  • Multiple technologies and functionalities expertly integrated into one solution, optimising control and reducing errors due to communications delays
  • Machine vision interface and real time environment provides operational feedback, progress and efficient digital control
  • Computers attributed with a metering system for the precise recording of patient radiation doses
  • Total connectivity to hospital networks enables images to be distributed to multiple stakeholders across secure networks
  • Designed to ensure aesthetical demands of the medical industry

The Outcome

  • Designed and manufactured to a custom system to fully meet the needs of the application
  • Platforms achieve a long operational life and minimise the need for hardware replacements, change control and COTS component selection
  • Successful implementation creates customer confidence stimulating multiple repeat orders
  • Through real time operation and control, Captec’s computers help practitioners to optimise the quality, accuracy and control of the patient treatment process
