ExacTrac® Dynamic

ExacTrac Dynamic unifies the power and precision of cutting-edge tracking technologies delivering high-precision treatments for a wide range of patient positioning and monitoring workflows including cranial, spine, lung, breast DIBH, and prostate. This all-in-one system’s revolutionary thermal-surface camera technology works in tandem with real-time X-Ray tracking for extraordinary accuracy. The 4D Thermal Camera creates a highly accurate and reliable hybrid thermal surface by correlating the patient’s heat signature to their reconstructed 3D surface structure. To achieve this, 300,000 3D surface points are acquired and matched to the heat signal generated by the thermal camera, creating another dimension to track their position. X-ray panels show more anatomy for easier orientation and interpretation of X-Ray images. At the same time, improved soft tissue contrast and enhanced read-out speed prevent motion blurring effects. Thanks to higher heat capacity, ExacTrac Dynamic X-Ray tubes support more automated, high frequency imaging. Deep integration with Elekta Versa HD™ in combination with HexaPOD™ and Varian Edge™ or TrueBeam™ with Perfect Pitch™ enable automated beam hold—repositioning and restarting treatment—from the linac console. Based on the indication, protocol or patient, X-Rays can be automatically or manually triggered for greater freedom. ExacTrac Dynamic allows you to position and monitor all your SRS, SBRT, and conventional radiotherapy patients.
