Ready When You AreSimply place the QA StereoChecker on the couch and position with automatic alignment features. No film, no bulky collimator attachments, and no manipulation of the robot required. CyberKnife uses the same clinical mode to deliver the QA treatment as it does the real patient treatment. The QA StereoChecker is aligned using the fiducials in the phantom, the same system used to align your patients prior to treatment.
Easy Method, Better PracticeSpeed and Accuracy:Now You Can Have Both
The QA StereoChecker makes it easy to give daily CyberKnife QA the attention it deserves. Designed to be used by both physicists and therapists, the QA StereoChecker helps you complete your daily CyberKnife QA in a matter of minutes, enabling improved frequency and depth of your QA practice.
The QA StereoChecker uses the same type of high resolution detectors as on-board imaging systems of traditional linacs (such as EPIDs) to give you highly-accurate, repeatable results in record time. You can cut your daily CyberKnife QA time from two hours down to just 15 minutes.
Did you know?On average, the annual cost of film necessary for daily CyberKnife QA tests can be as much as $5,000 USD. This cost can be drastically reduced by using the QA StereoChecker, which does not require film.

Iris QAThe QASC delivers quantitative results regarding the field size, flatness, and penumbra for all clinical iris diameters. An automated analysis software routine allows for consecutive analysis of all Iris diameters in a matter of seconds. Results can be exported as a report, and images and data can be exported for further analysis. This monthly test can now be performed on a daily basis, providing feedback on the status of each field size, allowing for trends to be observed and reducing machine downtime.
MLC QAEfficiently (and again without film) perform a garden fence or picket fence test. The QASC software can detect leaf errors to within 0.2 mm, prevent machine downtime and improving throughput. Seamlessly integrate this device with the latest offerings of the MLC dose delivery techniques.
Position and Delivery Analysis (PANDA)Eliminate film from your daily QA routine! The automated TLS/TDS analysis algorithm (PANDA) verifies the performance of positioning and delivery. The QASC can detect and report on translational errors in three dimensions to within 0.1 mm. In less than ten minutes, perform an analog to the manufacturer-recommended automated quality assurance test, and save your results as a report or export data and images.
