AVID Verification Phantom for IMRT
The first integrated hardware and software dosimetry system
The AVID™ (Advanced Verification of Integrated Dose) enables verification of radiation treatment plans. The system is made of tissue-equivalent materials and allows a comprehensive range of IMRT measurements (Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy).
The Challenge
- Finding and working with tissue equivalent materials
- Resolving conflicting requirements for the mechanical design
How StarFish Helped
- Development from initial concepts to manufacturing transfer
- Modular film cartridge for easy loading and measurements
- Flexible film configurations for sampling and high-resolution volumetric measurements with up to 21 film planes
- Automated fiducial marking system that uniquely localizes each film within the 3D volume using ambient light
- Ionization chamber insert for precise point-dose measurements
The Result
- Design completed by StarFish Medical for MDX Medical
- One patent application
