36C25221Q0572 AlignRT

Purpose The Clement J. Zablocki VA Medical Center Radiation Oncology department requires the purchase of the Align RT Surface Guidance system manufactured by Vision RT. As part of new construction efforts to expand Radiation Oncology, new linear accelerators have been purchased which work in conjunction with surface guidance systems and applications. These systems are brought in place to verify patient setup reproducibility, reduce the need for additional imaging and imaging dose, and automatically pause treatment due to expected (planned breathe hold) and unexpected (patient adjustments mid-treatment) motion.

With the projected increase in women veteran population, this system will also minimize concerning cardiac doses when treating certain breast cancer cases. It will also reduce patient setup times by %50 with the use of automated interlocking systems which will increase patient safety and satisfaction. All equipment must follow the guidelines and meet all specifications listed below.

Project Scope:

A. Functional Requirements

· Surface Guided Radiation Therapy (SGRT) system that allows real-time tracking of patients before and during radiation therapy.

· Functions must use contact-free techniques to track patients skin surfaces with sub-millimetric accuracy ranging below 0.5mm in all six degrees of freedom.

· Ensures radiation is only delivered when patients are correctly positioned.

· System must ensure accurate and reproductible patient setup and monitoring during dose delivery.

· System must have the ability to automatically pause treatment due to expected and unexpected patient adjustments made during dose delivery and treatment.

· Must allow control to the Elekta Couch Move functions

System must be able perform the following therapies and examinations

· DIBH (Deep Inspiration Breath Hold)

· General Breast

· SRS (Stereotactic Radiosurgery)

· SBRT (Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy)

· Head and Neck

· Breath Hold SBRT

· Sarcoma

· Prostate

· Pediatrics

B. Software & Interfacing Requirements

· System must be able to interface with Elekta’s Gating (Beam Hold) “Response” Interface to the Elekta Linac and continue to integrate with any future upgrades Elekta has to offer.

· Must be able to automatically open/review patients in synchronization with MOSAIQ

i. Sends and receives new patient appointments and updates existing patient appointments while sending reports to MOSAIQ.

· Software must support a 3-camera system and include a 3D photo module that will map the overlay of the texture-map of the patient on a 3D surface.

· Must include a postural video module that can provide live stream video from any of the three (3) camera units with a high contrast position outline for use during patient setup and treatment.

· Patient tracking software must provide multi-angle, real-time view of patient’s overall alignment relative to their reference position

· Must include analysis software that will work in conjunction with a stereotactic calibration cube phantom and leveling plate.

C. Additional Features/Accessories The system must include and meet the following features/guidelines

· Three (3) HD Camera Units

· Power Supply Unit (PSU) included for camera

· One (1) Workstation with a remote console in the control room

· Keyboard, mouse and monitor provided

· Three (3) Portable devices that will allow for remote control of the key functions of the system software.

· One (1) Head adjuster for applying pitch, yaw and roll corrections for cranial treatments.

· One (1) Stereotactic calibration cube phantom and leveling plate.

· One (1) Workstation hardware for an Offline Workstation
