The Advantages of a Virtual Linac over a Real LinacVERT - The Flight Simulator for Linacs

Student training in a safe, comfortable and pressure free environment

VERT is an innovative and highly visual teaching tool, proven to enhance learning

Over 100 systems installed in 20 different countries, including 19 leadingcentres in the US and Canada

VERT CLOSES THE GAP BETWEEN LEARNING AND PRACTICETo find out what advantages the flight simulator for Linacs can offer youplease go to www.vertual.co.uk or email [email protected]

• Train on the latest equipment, by changing Linacs at a click of a button

• Visualize internal anatomy, organs at risk and CT data

• Demonstrate the latest techniques such as RapidArc, VMAT, DIBH and SBRT

• Low running and installation costs

• Use your own treatment plans, to demonstrate local techniques

• Students are able to see their own plans with no radiation risk

Educating health care professionals • VERT enables health care professionals outside of radiation therapy to better understand radiation therapy principles.

What is VERTused for?

VERT ENHANCES YOUR TRAINING AND EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMSFor further information please visit www.vertual.co.ukor email [email protected]

Student education and technique development • Practise on a wide range of patient set-ups. • Change your Linac at touch of a button to expand knowledge and skills.

Demonstrating theoretical concepts in Radiation Therapy • Help teach the fundamentals of radiation therapy, using phantoms and sample datasets.

Patient and Public Education • Help patients understand radiation therapy treatment and its side effects. • Show the public the workings of a Linear Accelerator at a time that suits them; without disturbing the workflow of a machine.

Study cross sectional anatomy • Visualize structures and contours within the body to enhance the teaching of anatomy. • View CT slices on three planes, with cross-sectional contours.

View 3D internal anatomy • Immerse yourself in 3D to enhance visualization of internal structures and anatomy.

Visualize dose • See the dose coverage of the target volume using a dose cloud and the effects of misalignment. • Visualize dose over 100% to determine hotspots in treatments.
