Cablon Medical offers with CNERGY innovative solutions in the areas of “Quality Assurance & Safety”, “Precision, Imaging & Viewing”, “Patient Identification & Monitoring” and “Advanced Couch Setup & Control”. It was by working in close collaboration with partners in radiotherapy that many new solutions were found. Every solution is a response to specific practical issues and employs the latest guaranteed technologies. Practical experience has taught us that by joining forces can deliver solutions with the highest levels of precision and safety. Synergy at its best!
With the CNERGY Quality Assurance & Safety solutions you can deliver safe and accurate Radiotherapy treatments. Based on Image verification or CBCT registration results the patient will be positioned in the most accurate way to reduce safety margins around target and critical organs. Interlocks are used to secure the entire workflow.
CNERGY Check includes the independent Couch Setup Assistant (TCSA), which has been a common feature in many radiotherapy centers. In combination with the worfklow manager, the couch is swiftly and smoothly adjusted for pre-treatment and remote online patient setup corrections. The high level of accuracy in patient setup increases treatment safety and patient care. Also, CNERGY Check prevents treatment until the required pre-treatment patient setup corrections have been performed., minimizing the risk of setup errors of misalignments.

The daily morning check measures output, symmetry and flatness to ensure that beam output is properly tuned. Image quality of the EPID sytem can be easilty monitored with ContrasatDetail or a QC3-phantom. An accurate callibration method measures the multileaf collimator positions.
Read moreEvery radiotherapy treatment is unique. With CNERGY Precision, Imaging & Viewing solutions you can offer the best treatment for all kinds of radiotherapy treatments. From Total Body treatments, fast double 2D kv or MV imaging, CNERGY offers extensive Image Guided Radiotherapy (IGRT) abilities to verify the patient’s position.
Total Body Irradiation can be a complex treatment and may take up to an hour. Patient movements or positioning difficulties can double the time required. CNERGY TBI can help you significantly improve Total Body Irradiation treatment setup procedures and outcomes. Instead of simply producing a single image, the solution relies on Intrafraction Monitoring in the form of live video capture to provide high-quality MV images. This will deliver significantly greater efficiency, faster results and improved treatment quality.¹

Patient identification and monitoring is crucial in radiotherapy. With the CNERGY solutions you make sure that the correct patient receives the correct treatment. By using the most advanced techniques CNERGY helps radiotherapy clinics to prove their compliance with all current regulations.
Reliable patient identification is crucial in radiotherapy. Nowadays the checks are done mostly manually, for instance, checking the patient’s date of birth or a photograph. These methods are error-sensitive, as these checks are not integrated in the workflow there is no 100% guarantee that the steps are always executed. Together with one of the radiotherapy centres in The Netherlands, Cablon Medical has made another step forward with use of a palm scan connected to the R&V system and accelerator. It identifies the patient through the unique palm vein profile. The blood vessel pattern is unique to each person and is more accurate than other biometric methods, such as facial recognition and iris scan.4 In addition, it works fast5 and is suitable for all patients, even the ones that need to undergo chemotherapy and whose fingerprint may temporarily disappear.

CNERGY Breath Hold monitors the patient’s respiratory motion in order to check that the patient is holding their breath correctly. Deep inspiration Breath Hold (DIBH) is a proven technique resulting in a maximum dose in thetreatment area while the surrounding tissue is spared.6
Read moreCNERGY Advanced Couch Setup & Control is a unique solution on top of CNERGY Check to enable 6 degrees of freedom (6 DoF) corrections in the clinic. Using the same software and user interface, patients can be treated very easily. Because no extra workload is needed even non-stereotactic patients can be positioned with the highest accuracy.
6 DoF robotic couches are preferred for high precision radiotherapy. These systems may diminish patient setup errors and improve target positioning. Safety margins around target and critical organs can be reduced. CNERGY and CIVCO Radiotherapy have joined forces by combining CNERGY Check and Protura Robotic Patient Positioning System using the CNERGY Protura interface. The total solution is able to perform 3D or 6D corrections with submillimeter precision.8 One system managing all couch corrections allows for ease of use and flexibility.
