The Importance of Commissioning
Commissioning of a linear accelerator and a treatment planning system is the very first step of implementation of technology for clinical use.
Getting the commissioning right is of primary importance, as it impacts every patient treated on that system.
Commissioning experts help increase quality and safety.
- Experienced, ABR-certified physicists (relevant certification according to
local guidelines)
- Ready processes
- Advanced analysis tools
- Large database of beam and models
- Efficiency and safety in repetition
