CT SIMULATOR (Computed Tomography Simulator for Radiation Therapy Planning)

What is a CT Simulator?

A CT Simulator (Computed Tomography Simulator) is a specialized CT scanner designed for radiation therapy simulation and treatment planning in cancer care. Unlike a standard CT scan used only for diagnosis, the CT Simulator provides detailed imaging data that allows oncologists to design precise and personalized radiation treatment plans.

How It Works

1. 3D Imaging:
   Produces three-dimensional images of the patient’s body, showing the tumor’s size, shape, and exact location.

2. 4D Motion Imaging:
   Captures organ and tumor movement (such as breathing in lung or chest cancers) to adjust radiation delivery accordingly.

3. Dose Reduction Technology:
   Uses advanced algorithms to minimize radiation dose to the patient while maintaining image quality.

4. Precise Localization:
   With integrated software, physicians can contour the tumor margins and plan radiation beams to target the cancer while sparing surrounding healthy tissues.

Key Features of the CT Simulator

• Covers All Body Areas and Diseases
  Supports imaging for patients of all ages and conditions in a single radiation planning scan.

• Enhanced Imaging for Accuracy
  Helps capture precise images to support more accurate treatment planning.

• 3D Imaging with O-MAR Technology
  Reduces metal artifacts that obscure images, allowing doctors to see organs and tissues clearly.

• 4D Imaging Capability
  Tracks tumor movement in organs such as the lungs or chest during breathing.

• iDose Technology
  Minimizes radiation exposure to patients while still delivering high-quality images for treatment planning.

• TumorLOC Technology
  Enables precise localization of the tumor for accurate radiation targeting during the planning stage.
