What does Compu cutter® do?
Compu cutter® is a radiotherapy shielding block cutter that utilizes digitized files to cut foam blocks so that extremely precise alloy shielding blocks can be made to protect healthy tissue during a radiation therapy treatment. Digitized block outlines can be transferred from common treatment planning systems or manually created by outlining treatment areas on a radiograph with a digitizing mouse. Compu cutter® has the ability to flip images for fast AP/ PA or L/R lateral blocks, or change any parameter without re-digitizing.
