Isocenter Optimization Routine (3D Winston-Lutz)
Now with accuracy surpassing sub-pixel resolution!
The RIT Family of Products come equipped with an automated 3D Stereotactic Alignment routine to give you a fast and accurate measurement of isocenter accuracy, allowing you to optimize your SRS/SBRT delivery. Automatically process a range of 3 to 16 EPID Winston-Lutz images for fast, sub-pixel level accuracy of isocenter position. This routine allows physicists to perform daily or patient-specific analyses using specific clinical treatment angles. Using only a set of EPID Winston-Lutz images, the RIT system will calculate deviations between radiation and mechanical isocenter, determine ball/BB setup error, and suggest couch alignment adjustments to optimize your system’s accuracy. Additionally, this routine enables individual component (gantry, collimator, couch) characterization to better understand distinct contributions to isocenter deviation, giving insight into adjustments that can be made to improve delivery performance, if needed. RIT's Isocenter Optimization routine allows for optimal cone detection, resulting in the utmost precision.
Eliminate your need for films and increase your accuracy using Virtual Star Shot* with ANY combination of angles, reconstructed using a set of Winston-Lutz images in its dedicated window! Patents: US 9192784, JP 6009705, CA 2918045, and other international patents pending.
Recently-Added Enhancements:
- Increased Angle Flexibility
This routine now offers expanded flexibility with customizable angle configurations. The increased flexibility of this routine allows you to mimic more clinically relevant angles to determine isocenter at specific treatment configurations. In addition to performing a full system analysis, you have the added capability of performing partial system analyses and generating results with as few as three images. Customizable analysis reports clearly indicate whether a 'full system' or 'partial system' analysis was performed, and the plot labeling will dynamically update with angle information for added clarity and interpretation of results. - New Couch Walkout Plot
This new plot shows the beam deviation vs. the couch rotation angle and is a very significant improvement for all customers that intend to adjust the angle of their couches. - New Annotated Information Icons
The new information icons present information and annotations to guide you through this advanced analysis. Simply hover your cursor over the icon to see important information about each component of this routine.

- MLC accuracy
- Radiation vs. Light Field (Regular and Asymmetrical)
This Radiation vs. Light Field routine measures how well radiation and light field positions coincide for conformance with TG-142 recommendations. The routine can make use of EPID images of the radiation field and can adapt to a variety of SIDs, asymmetric, and custom field sizes. Besides radiation-light field coincidence, the routine measures field symmetry and flatness, penumbra width, and field edge orthogonality in vertical and horizontal directions. - Classic Star Shot Analysis
- Beam profiles / Flatness / Symmetry and more
Fully-Automated Star Shot Analysis
RIT’s film Star Shot beam detection routine has been completely re-designed and now features a fully-automated interface with more robust and accurate detection algorithms. A few key highlights include:
- Full Automation: Increase your efficiency and accuracy with RIT's one-click analysis of Star Shot images. The new algorithm removes pre-processing from your workflow, allowing for quicker acquisition of results. Polarity, ROI, number of spokes, and spoke center are all automatically extracted from the image, then applied in the analysis.
- Visualized Spoke Detection: Newly-added beam center overlays on the beam profile plots provide a clear indication of the automated routine’s performance.
- Artificial Intelligence: The re-designed routine utilizes sophisticated AI algorithms for even more accurate and reliable measurements. The AI obtains a 99% accuracy rate of spoke detection in a wide range of Star Shot images.
- Manual Override Option: If desired, the routine will also allow you to easily modify the settings to fine-tune the automated analysis by hand.
