Simac Dose Calculation

From machine measurements to patient dose consequences

Current QA tells you output, flatness and symmetry drifted — but not whether it matters clinically. Simac Dose Calculation answers that, using your machine's current state: it estimates how operating parameters, beam-model changes and QA deviations affect delivered dose by recalculating against a continuously updated beam model. Powered by the Simac Beam Model™.

Standard edition
Simple treatments & phantoms

Calculate dose distributions for simple 4-field box treatment and rectangular phantom.

ADVANCED EDITION - FUTURE PRODUCT
Extended treatments & phantom config

Calculate dose distributions for advanced treatments like VMAT. Custom phantom design and DICOM import. 

What you can do
  • Recalculate a plan using the machine's current state, not its commissioned state
  • Quantify the cumulative dose effect of QA deviations and trends
  • Propagate single — or multiple — QA failures through to a dose distribution
  • Run an FMEA on your QA program using patient dose to assess clinical risk
What's included
  • Standard dose calculation — up to a four-field box on a rectangular phantom
  • Configurable MUs, field size, and SSD per beam
  • Beam model imported from Simac Machine
  • Builds a physics-based dose kernel
Included with purchase
Configurable field size/MUs/SSD & a physics dose kernel
