The primary purpose and intended use of this device is to improve the efficiency of designing patient specific radiation therapy beam-shaping block devices through the use of optical scanning technology. This device will serve as a direct replacement to the current processes for designing such radiotherapy devices in cases where a “clinical patient set up” is used (i.e. cases where the treatment field is determined by direct physician examination, not by internal imaging technology).

This product is not intended to replace CT imaging or other internal imaging modalities and should be used only in cases where a qualified radiation oncologist has made appropriate determination of the acceptability of a “clinical patient set up” approach, independent of any information provided by this application. In other words, the role of this product is to simply ensure efficient and accurate ordering of a patient-specific beam-shaping block device from our company, in cases where a licensed radiation oncologist has predetermined that such a device and treatment approach is appropriate for the patient at hand. Thus this device’s indications for use include patients with a variety of cancer and disease conditions, which will be treated under the direct supervision and guidance of a radiation oncologist that has prescribed a desired dose of radiation to be delivered to the patient.
