GIRAFFE & ZEBRA

Product catalog summary

Overview
The document provides information on the Giraffe and Zebra systems by IBA Dosimetry, designed for commissioning and machine quality assurance (QA) in particle therapy, specifically proton beam therapy. These systems offer high accuracy and speed with 180 measurement points in one shot.

Key Benefits

Instant absolute range verification for monthly and annual QA.
Utilizes water-equivalent material for equivalent scattering properties.
Allows periodic verification of the Treatment Planning System (TPS) library without the need for a water tank setup.
Supports measurements at any angle, which is not possible with a water tank.

Technical Specifications

Measures ranges with an accuracy of 0.5 mm compared to water measurements (Bortfeld fit).
Verifies the full clinical range up to 230 MeV.
Dimensions: 43.9 cm (L) × 19.5 cm (H) × 17.5 cm (W).
Features 180 chambers with a 2 mm pitch, with 1 mm pitch supported using a WET cover and automatic software reconstruction.

Product Features

Giraffe and Zebra systems are essential for proton centers, significantly reducing commissioning time by measuring PDD Bragg peak and SOBP faster than water phantoms.
Electrodes with a 12 cm large diameter for single-spot and Bragg peak measurements, allowing reconstruction within seconds.
Electrodes with a 2.5 cm small diameter for scanned monolayer and SOBP checks, offering 3x faster commissioning compared to single detector measurements.
Capability to acquire monolayers and dose cubes with a single irradiation, saving up to three hours compared to single SOBP reconstruction using a water tank.
