Evidence
Efficiency
Reduce complexity in the simulation process: Direct Laser and Direct Laser QA.
Direct Laser1
- Streamlined patient marking thanks to fully integrated lasers
- No need for separate laser hardware resulting in a smaller system footprint
- Direct Laser QA provides a quick quality assurance check with a dedicated phantom
Quality

Precision
DirectDensity1 guided by CARE kV empowers the use of optimized kV settings for each individual patient.
DirectDensity1,4
- Drive precision for target contouring with automatic and patient-specific, optimized kV imaging (CARE kV in 10 kV steps)
- Electron density and mass density reconstruction with DirectDensity1,4
- A standardized workflow with a single calibration curve for dose planning
Testimonials
"DirectORGANS is our first use of autocontouring. We can definitely see the benefits in terms of time saving. We feel it's very accurate most of the time, very little edits are needed to be made."6
