QA BeamChecker™ Pro Delivers Faster Daily QA

A highlight of the meeting was the introduction of the QA BeamChecker™ Pro, Standard Imaging's next-generation daily QA device designed to reduce daily beam QA time by up to 30%. Featuring integrated automatic energy detection, standalone operation, and an intuitive touchscreen interface, the system enables clinics to perform comprehensive photon and electron beam constancy checks with a single setup.

Key features include:

  • One setup for photon, photon FFF, and electron energies
  • Standalone operation: software-free and cable-free operation
  • Automatic energy detection with instant pass/fail results
  • Large touchscreen interface for simplified workflow
  • Secure Wi-Fi connectivity and integration with the Next Gen QA platform

MAX Elite Electrometer Advances Precision and Workflow Efficiency

Attendees also experienced the latest capabilities of the MAX Elite Electrometer, engineered to deliver exceptional precision alongside workflow-enhancing functionality. Built for today's clinical demands and tomorrow's emerging applications, the platform combines intuitive operation with advanced measurement capabilities. 

Highlighted features included:

  • New live data plotting capabilities for real-time measurement visibility
  • New Theranostics nuclide calibrator functionality
  • Fast-settling and fast-zeroing performance
  • Largest capacitive touchscreen in its class
  • Flexible remote operation and viewing options
  • Streamlined user interface for efficient setup and operation.

The system drew strong interest from physicists seeking versatile instrumentation capable of supporting a wide range of QA and dosimetry applications. 

 

SI-Halo™ Brings Intelligent Focus to Patient QA

Standard Imaging also showcased SI-Halo™, its intelligent patient QA solution designed to help clinics focus QA efforts where they matter most. By combining targeted verification with continuous monitoring, SI-Halo provides actionable insights that support patient-specific treatment confidence while minimizing unnecessary workload. 

The platform's ability to prioritize higher-risk treatments, monitor every patient throughout treatment, and provide meaningful alerts resonated with attendees looking to optimize resources without compromising patient safety. 

 

Comprehensive Solutions Across the Radiotherapy Workflow

Beyond daily QA and patient-specific verification, Standard Imaging demonstrated solutions designed to evaluate the entire radiotherapy treatment process. These included advanced phantom technologies supporting both film and ion chamber measurements, programmable respiratory motion simulation for motion management evaluation, and precise 6DoF positioning solutions developed to streamline setup for Bore-Linac treatments. 

Together, these technologies reflect Standard Imaging's commitment to delivering a comprehensive ecosystem of QA solutions that improve efficiency, strengthen confidence, and support high-quality patient care across every stage of treatment. 

"As radiation therapy continues to evolve, the need for smarter, more connected QA solutions becomes increasingly important," said DeWerd. "We're committed to helping clinics meet those challenges with technology that simplifies workflows, improves visibility, and supports better outcomes for patients."
