| Oncology Imaging Systems installs kVue Couch Tops in Ireland |
Oncology Imaging Systems has just embarked on two exciting couch upgrade projects in Ireland, at
St. Vincent’s Private Hospital in Dublin and The Mid-Western Cancer Centre located in Limerick.
Both centres have chosen kVue couch tops, which offer modular patient positioning inserts that
become the patient surface of the couch top, eliminating additional attenuation or dose build-up
caused by the couch top itself. Made with carbon fibre composites the kVue is equipped with Stealth
Beams that can be positioned independently to avoid the radiation fields. Each centre will have kVues
installed on their linear accelerators and CT simulator to provide consistency and increase the
accuracy of treatment planning dosimetric calculations.
