Middleton, WI--Standard Imaging, a leader in radiation therapy QA solutions, is proud to announce the debut of TruPose™ Head Adjuster, a bore-linear accelerator (linac) specific head adjuster system designed to enhance patient positioning by enabling precise six degrees of freedom (6DoF) corrections using visual feedback from surface-guided radiation therapy (SGRT) system.

Ensuring sub-millimetric accuracy in patient positioning is critical for the success of radiation therapy. Many bore-linacs feature treatment couches with only translational movements, making manual rotational error correction a challenge. Even c-arm linacs equipped with 6DoF couches can benefit from utilizing the TruPose™ Head Adjuster for finite adjustments down to +/-0.1 degree.

TruPose addresses this need by offering three degrees of freedom (3 DoF) for pitch, roll and yaw rotational positioning corrections with range of adjustments of up to ±4.0 degrees. The system allows for fine-tuned correction via three intuitive, color-coded adjustment knobs, improving clinical workflow and patient confidence. The user simply needs to look at the SGRT display monitor, verify the delta, and rotate the corresponding knob to zero the rotational error.

“We saw a gap in the industry—clinicians needed a precise, intuitive solution for rotational corrections in patient positioning,” said Eric DeWerd, President and CEO of Standard Imaging. “TruPose meets that need, delivering sub-millimetric accuracy while seamlessly integrating into existing workflows.”

The TruPose system features a rotatable carbon fiber head support plate fixed by a ball joint near the neck, secured to a base frame beneath the patient. Designed to work seamlessly with third-party thermoplastic masks, the head support plate immobilizes the patient’s head while allowing crucial adjustments. Careful attention has been given to the device’s compact operating housing to ensure it does not interfere with most non-coplanar treatment beams.

“The TruPose is the ideal device for precise, intuitive and quick patient set up for surface-guided head and neck and intracranial radiotherapy especially for bore-type linacs like the Varian Halcyon, Ethos and Accuray Radixact” said Umar Baharom, Product Manager and OEM Strategic Accounts.

TruPose Head Adjuster is now available for order. To learn more about how this innovative system can enhance your radiation therapy workflow or contact Standard Imaging directly.
