Virtual Phantoms is happy to announce a major update of the VirtualDoseIR module has been released for public use.
Key new features:
- Rectangular fields — VirtualDoseIR now models rectangular exposure fields in addition to square ones.
- Additional cardinal directions — The system now natively supports projections originating on the anterior side of the patient body, plus cranial and caudal tilt angles
- Spin acquisition — in addition to regular fluoroscopic exposures, there is now an option to estimate the dose from 3D (CBCT) spin acquisitions that have become common on many modern machines.
- Specify reference point distance — users may now specify the distance from the source to the interventional reference point to override the default reference point position
In addition there have been a number of internal improvements to improve the speed and accuracy of the calculations.
Features are available today for use with the VirtualDoseIR API — look for updates to the web interface in the near future to take advantage of all new options.
