Every Fraction of Every Treatment

Feel confident in plan delivery performance with immediate alerts and a powerful analysis performed within seconds of delivery.

Instantaneous QA

Analyzes thousands of measurements within seconds

Check machine performance for every treatment and get immediate alert notifications for clinically relevant events. Instantaneous results with saved analysis for future review.

Automatic RTPlan Generation

Scripted automatic recalculation with your TPS*

Directly evaluate clinical impact of delivery differences using your own trusted system. Exports an RT plan file with out of tolerance log file data to calculate the dose of the day on your TPS. *Currently only validated for Eclipse and Pinnacle.

Pre-Treatment QA

Comprehensive treatment delivery analysis done instantly and automatically without need of an external hardware-based solution. Modulation complexity scores allow comparison of competing plans and insight into problematic plan delivery.

Linear accelerators generate log files which correspond to a copy of the irradiation parameters. LinacView automatically analyzes these log files in real time and in the background by comparing them to the planned treatment described by the DICOM RTplan file associated with the beams, for every session and every patient.

Passively monitor all of your treatment machines for plan delivery accuracy

Automatically receive audible alerts, emails or text messages, when clinically-relevant events occur.

Monitor:

  • • Jaw and Leaf Positions
  • • Couch Position
  • • Monitor Unit
  • • Gantry and Collimator Angles
  • • Beam Off Latency Time
  • • Delivered vs Planned Fluence
*Functionality can depend on linac type.

LinacView Introduction Video

Get an in-depth look at LinacView.

LinacView is a powerful and versatile tool for logfile analysis. We use the results produced by this software for various applications such as: daily checking of a reference VMAT arc performed on each of our LINACs (for example, to detect when either gantry chain adjustment or leaf motor replacement is required), to investigate a diminished performance in our pre-treatment patient QA, to monitor LINAC performance during each fraction delivered to every one of our patients, to compare, in terms of DVH, the planned treatment and the "delivered" treatment recalculated on our TPS with an RT-plan file exported from LinacView which contains all log file data. For the last use mentioned, we greatly appreciate carrying out these comparisons on our TPS rather than on another TPS. Moreover, I believe that LinacView is a tool which fosters cooperation between manufacturers, medical physics and biomedical engineering departments.
