Patient Positioning
Advanced patient positioning tools accommodate virtually all patient sizes and positioning devices.
A larger FOV imaging mode is needed so that simulation images can be obtained that encompass the patient’s body and any immobilization devices.1
“When we were comparing the different products out there one of the things that drew us to Canon Medical above and beyond the image quality was the bore size because they have the largest bore size as well as field of view. As a radiation oncologist, this is extraordinarily important.”
