Quick integration of Sicel dose verification

Optimize planning efficiency with a set of software tools that enables clinicians to quickly and easily integrate Sicel’s dose verification technology into their existing clinical workflow. Focal DVS support for Dose Verification System includes a suite of functions designed to accelerate the acquisition and review of daily dose readings and facilitate rapid evaluation of actual versus plan dose data.

Empirical treatment verification tools

Enhance treatment accuracy and improve patient outcomes with empirical treatment verification tools. Using Sicel’s implantable dosimeters with wireless telemetry capabilities and Focal DVS’s innovative software applications, clinicians can identify daily setup, delivery and organ-motion error and adapt treatment plans to correct for dose discrepancies.

Rapid review and analysis of treatment delivery data

Focal DVS complements the functionality of Sicel’s DVS system with a suite of easy to use software tools that allow for rapid review and analysis of treatment delivery data. Seamless integration with the Sicel database ensures easy access to daily point dose data. Intuitive analytical tools, including fractional and cumulative differential dose volume histograms, support rapid identification and analysis of dose discrepancies and sources of treatment error.
