Radiology equipment

Gas pressure gauge

Medical devices; Radiology equipment

Component of gas unit in high energy and low energy Clinac stands.

A Clinac accessory that attaches to the treatment head and consists of an arm holding a pointer, which indicates the entry point of the beam on the patient. Used to find isocenter and to calibrate ...

Geometry calibration

Medical devices; Radiology equipment

Activities that adjust the position of the MV and kV image detectors, the position of the kV collimator (blades) and the settings of the IR (NDI) camera so that their geometries relative to the MV ...

Geometric parameters

Medical devices; Radiology equipment

Within a beam, means the complete set of axis positions: gantry and MLC angles; collimator rotation; and positions of the jaws, couch, and MLC leaves.

Geometric optimization

Medical devices; Radiology equipment

External beam therapy: automatic optimisation of the number of required fields and their optimum gantry / couch angle to achieve a user defined DVH prescription. Brachytherapy:

Geometric marker phantom

Medical devices; Radiology equipment

Used to perform the isocenter accuracy check. See also isocenter calibration.

Gating threshold

Medical devices; Radiology equipment

A threshold based on time within the respiratory cycle (phase gating) or position (amplitude gating) that determines when the respiratory gating system turns the treatment beam on and off. See also ...
