2. The Problem

Isocenter coordinates from our Phylis Big Bore TumorLoc application cannot be transferred to our Gammex lasers and need to be manually inserted.

3. Key Use Case

How it works: We mark an isocenter on the TumorLoc software, and then manually enter the X and Y coordinate into the laser’s computer, then move the couch to the desired couch position.
Should be: Mark the isocenter, coordinates transfer automatically to the Gammex computer and to the couch controller, move couch by pressing release button.
