Dose Recording

AccuBoost allows for dose recording directly from the actual treatment.

The AccuBoost design is capable of recording the exit dose (radiation that penetrates through the breast) and provides dose recording for each fraction. The step-by-step dose recording procedure is shown in the following diagrams:

1. Intial Localiation: The mammography system is used for identification of the lumpectomy site.

2. Recording Dose: The AccuBoost applicators are positioned to deliver the dose. Computed Radiography (CR) plates record the exit dose.

3. Generate Digital Image: The CR plates (the imaging film) are scanned to provide a digital map of the dose in each fraction.

4. Dose Map Archiving: The digital image is displayed and analyzed for in-process adjustment and archived for future reference.
