Linear 5ive Array
Dynamic Dose Measurements for Brachytherapy Dosimetry
The Linear 5ive MOSFET Array™, when used in combination with the mobileMOSFET™, is the first and only commercially available combination that allows for the real-time quality assurance of all brachytherapy procedures, without a significant investment in extra time.
Real-time dose profiling is provided by the in-vivo use of a mobileMOSFET Wireless Dosimetry System. The Linear Array is used for various HDR applications such as prostate and gynecological brachytherapy using model TN-252LA5.
When placed on the surface of the breast, the array can also validate MammoSite™ treatments. Implant and LDR dosimetry is performed using the higher sensitivity model TN-502LA5.
When inserted directly into a urethral catheter, the dose results provide immediate assessment of post-implant base and apex dose coverage, as well as the dose to organs at risk such as the urethra, rectum or bladder. This real-time dose feedback allows assessing the quality of the seed implant program in LDR and HDR brachytherapy. Absolute dose measurements or dose rate measurements are obtained in real-time. This will help validate the quality of treatment, and ultimately the quality of life for the patient.
