A game changer!

Delta4 Discover is a state-of-the-art 4D in vivo dosimetry system—and the first and only transmission detector approved for clinical use during treatment. Radiation oncology clinics across the world can now independently verify that the prescribed dose is delivered to the patient at every fraction, in exact accordance with the prescription.

Independent verification during treatment

Ensured dose delivery

Enhanced patient safety

Optimized patient QA workflow

Replaces pre-treatment verification

Improves cancer treatment

Testimonials

What our customers say

By using the Delta4 Discover during treatment we can confirm the actual dose in the patient. The real-time dose verification from the Delta4 Discover plays an important role when physicians do treatment planning. They can adapt the plan if they find out that any errors have occurred during treatment.

Dr. Hirofumi Honda Chief physicist, Ehime University Hospital in Japan

Thanks to the Delta4 Discover´s ability to detect errors immediately after treatment, we can perform treatments without any stress or extra efforts like recalculations.

Dr. Hirofumi Honda Chief physicist, Ehime University Hospital in Japan

When implementing the Delta4 Discover it was a very simple characterization process, we did not have to do beam modeling and the automated interfacing with the R&V system enabled a seamless workflow. It is not time consuming in our daily routine and we intend to use it continuously in all treatment fractions, and also use it for our SBRT treatments and implement it in our Machine QA program.

Plan import

The physicist imports the patient’s DICOM files into the Delta4 Software. No additional recalculations required.

Delivery verification

The therapist selects the patient to be treated and the ADI interface automatically communicates with the Delta4 Software, which then selects the proper patient for verification. The Delta4 Discover monitors the treatment plan in real-time, and the Delta4 software collects treatment data.

Data analysis

Upon completion of treatment, data is automatically analyzed and displayed in the Delta4 Software.

Review and reporting

Treatment data and results are stored in the Delta4 Software. In case of an error, the physicist is immediately notified via an email automatically generated by the system. An overview of the treatment course progress and results are always available.
