• Body Pro-Lok ONE SBRT Immobilization
  The New Body Pro-Lok ONE SBRT Immobilization system allows for customized setups utilizing ONEBridge vs three for varying patient types. This new advanced design features both tilt and lateral offset features as well as an enhanced contour for improved clearance of the gantry. The bridge secures directly to the Universal Couchtop, thus eliminating the need for overlays and ensuring equivalent setups between CT and treatment.
  
  
• Protura Robotic Patient Positioning System
  Remotely repositions patients with robotic 6 degrees of freedom giving Varian Linac users ability to ensure sub-millimeter positioning accuracy from outside the treatment room. Protura's integration with Varian treatment technology automatically opens patient information in Protura software, drawing it from Varian's 4DTC System, automatically loads patient shift data to match Varian's On-Board Imager (OBI) kV imaging system, and automatically imports the Varian pedestal location. Combined with CIVCO's comprehensive motion management solutions, Protura is optimized to handle the rigors of a busy clinic while improving efficiency and throughput. Protura and Varian integration, along with AlignRT® 3D Imaging System integration will be demonstrated in the CIVCO booth throughout the meeting. Protura 1.5.0 Software now provides an interface solution for Varian/MOSAIQ users.
  
  
• Universal Couchtop Long Extension
  The Universal Couchtop Long Extension (UCT LE) provides seamless imaging and treatment planning with dosimetrically matched couchtops that feature a large, junction-free & artifact-free treatment area. The unique profile of the UCT LE allows CIVCO's SBRT Body Pro-Lok ONE bridge to attach directly to the couchtop, enabling a seamlessly integrated SBRT immobilization platform. Several new additions have been released to the CIVCO UCT Extension family including a Kevlar solution.
  
  
• trUpoint ARCH SRS/SRT System
  The trUpoint ARCH improves the patient's experience during SRS/SRT treatment with non-invasive, rigid and secure immobilization that permitted less than 1 mm of movement during intrafraction testing. Multiple immobilization methods are used, allowing the clinician to customize each setup based on the patient and clinical protocols. truPoint ARCH has now received U.S. FDA 510(k) clearance for MR environments.
