What is it indicated for?

DCM is a three-dimensional radiotherapy dose engine for radiation dose planning of patients undergoing external beam treatment in oncology clinic.

Based on quality assured radiation therapy input data Dose Calculation Module is used to plan radiation treatment with:

Linear accelerators with X-ray energies from 4 to 50MV and electron energies from 6 to 25 MeV

Cobalt-60 units

DCM will calculate dose for 3D radiotherapy treatment approaches of combined modality plans, asymmetric and non-coplanar fields; total body irradiation; multi-leaf collimators; motorized and dynamic wedges; customized blocking and bolus.

Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
