In December 2020 we celebrated the 100th IQM System entering clinical use for Radiation Therapy Developed in close cooperation with some of the world’s leading Radiation Therapy clinics, IQM is the most advanced verification system available on the market today. As more clinics put IQM’s fully automated QA into clinical use, they are seeing the […]

The “Medizinische Hochschule Hannover (MHH)” is one of Germany’s leading University clinics providing high quality care to their patients. The IQM system was installed at MHH in the beginning of October and the Medical Physics team immediately started integrating IQM into their clinical routine. Dr. Martin Werner, Medical Physicist at MHH, commented that “We truly

Our last newsletter outlined how real-time verification of hypo-fractionated treatments with IQM allows sites to implement this new technology with confidence and how it improves patient convenience without compromising patient safety. (Read the complete article.) Providing optimal care to cancer patients is an increasingly complex task. Continued growth in the number of cancer patients combined

An increasing number of Radiation Therapy clinics worldwide are introducing hypo-fractionated treatment techniques into their clinical routine. High quality treatment delivered in a single or just a few fractions minimizes the time a patient must spend receiving Radiation Therapy. Reducing the duration of a treatment course from 6 weeks, with conventional fractionation, to merely a

Spain is currently one of the Covid-19 hotspots in Europe with huge impact on every aspect of “normal” life. This current situation prompted me to reach out to some of our GenesisCare users in Spain to find out how the Covid-19 crisis is impacting their cancer treatment processes and if they consider IQM helpful in

10 years ago, in January 2010, the New York Times started a series of articles about accidental overexposures in radiation therapy treatments. This milestone prompted us to consider the challenges Medical Physicists have experienced over the last 10 years and what kind of measures have been taken to improve patient safety in today’s radiation therapy

Four (4) Elekta Versa HD Linear accelerators at different sites within a network of 16 cancer centers were matched for the 6MV beam energy. As part of commissioning IQM detectors at each of the 16 sites we investigated the agreement of IQM and waterphantom measurements among the four matched machines and implemented a universal beam

GenesisCare clinics all around Spain have started clinical use of the IQM System. Standardized QA Across a Diverse Nationwide Radiation Therapy Network GenesisCare sites in Spain are initially deploying IQM for pre-treatment QA of complex IMRT and VMAT techniques, providing a standardized QA approach throughout the entire GenesisCare Spain network. IQM provides unrivaled verification accuracy
