Why microSelectron Digital? Reliable platform with largest installed base worldwide Scalable afterloading system that can be tailored to a clinic’s needs Seamless integration with MOSAIQ and other oncology information systems

Reliable microSelectron® has over 1,500 platforms in use in over 80 countries, making it by far the largest installed base in the world. The microSelectron® Digital platform is comprised of the treatment unit, remote treatment monitoring and control devices, as well as quality assurance tools. The treatment unit’s forward stepping source ensures that the radioactive source is precisely placed at the defined dwell positions and that no unnecessary radiation exposure occurs at the tip of the treatment channel, thus adding to the safety of the procedure. The source is paused at dwell positions...

Scalable The microSelectron® Digital platform is a exible solution for brachytherapy applications ranging from conventional treatments with a low number of treatment channels to more complex treatments requiring a multitude of treatment channels. The scalable microSelectron Digital platform can easily be tailored to the evolving needs of your brachytherapy practice. You could start o with six treatment channels, for example, and scale up to 18 or 30 channels as the need arises.

The platform can be scaled to accomodate the various procedures of a clinical practice. With the 18 or 30 -channel configuration, large implants such as state-of-the-art interstitial breast or prostate treatments, can be treated without needing to reconnect catheters during treatment. For more complex implants, the number of catheters in the treatment plan can even exceed the afterloader’s number of physical channels. Through the use of the sub-fractionation functionality in the microSelectron Digital, treatments with up to 90 catheters can be performed.

Connected A successful brachytherapy procedure is tailored to the needs of individual patients. This can only be accomplished through a seamless connection of all the elements involved in the brachytherapy treatment solution: imaging, applicators, treatment planning and treatment delivery. Oncentra® Brachy and Oncentra® Prostate treatment planning systems are designed for use with the microSelectron® Digital and provide an optimal fit.
