Radiotherapy is one of the most widespread and most effective methods of cancer treatment in developed countries. The success of treatment depends not only on the equipment of the clinical facilities in hospitals, but also on the knowledge and skills of the professional staff at these departments. The simulator is regarded as a breakthrough in the development of radiotherapy possibilities, as well as the training and preparation of clinic experts. The device offers the user to interact with the studied system, enhanced by virtual reality glasses. The system contains detailed information about several types of state-of-the-art radiators used in radiotherapy clinics, allowing for inspecting treatment schedules and simulation of the actual irradiation process or movement of individual components of the irradiator.
The VERT™ simulator will ensure the experts in oncology departments adopt the right work habits as well as present the negative impact on successful treatment of patients in case of inconsistency, incorrect calibration or configuration of the device´s parameters, incorrect loading and interpretation of data by the planning software, misaligment of patient and the radiation table or relative to the positional lasers in the radiation room. All without harm to the patient. Within the system, a physical mode for simulation of dosimetric measurements is available as well as other tests of the clinical irradiator with a detector in the so-called large aquatic or other clinically used phantom.
