STEEV^TM Phantom

The STEEV Phantom provides the most realistic clinical simulation to perform end-to-end testing of SRS QA systems in the most challenging anatomical regions.

The Model 038 STEEV Steriotactic End-to-end Verification Phantom Patient is used for comprehensive testing of stereotactic radiosurgery systems. The Phantom provides a means to check every step the patient will undergo in the treatment process from diagnostic imaging with MR,  CT, and PET to treatment plan verification.

Model 038 STEEV Steriotactic End-to-end Verification Phantom Patient features:

• Performs IGRT QA procedure for X-ray and onboard kV and MV imagers including CBCT
• TPS Deformable Image registration algorithm accuracy QA
• Performs end-to-end testing for commissioning as directed by AAPM TG-101
• Verifies patient treatment plan in critical regions
• performs geometric machine QA Winston-Lutz isocenter verification tests and localization/repositioning with couch shift
• Verifies patient positioning using frame/frameless systems, head and shoulder masks or other positioning fixation devices
• Assesses image transfer QA, image fusion, accuracy verification and TPS testing with Multi-modality imaging capabilities (CT, MRI and PET)

Workflow step:

• Treatment planning
• Pre-Treatment delivery
• Commissioning & acceptance
• Monthly QA
