What is an "SRS" phantom?

As you know, there are many phantom systems marketed as "SRS" but did you also know that the NavPhan is the only option that can provide actionable information for even the most challenging SRS, SBRT and SIMT cases? Many other systems break down when measuring even single targets <15mm in diameter. But, according to published reports, somewhere between 85% - 90% of the brain metastasis targets that you will treat will be <15mm [1]. Meaning, these other systems perform poorly in a vast majority of the clinical brain metastasis cases that you will encounter in practice!


Efficiency, interpretability, simplicity, and accuracy all matter.

The NavPhan system provides clearly-defined workflows that enable exceptionally high chances of success for every measurement. Other systems utilize poorly-defined, error-prone workflows that often require repeated measurements. The NavPhan is at least 3x more efficient than other SRS solutions at providing true-composite delivery information for SIMT cases. True-composite information means that the results are easily interpretable thus providing users with definitive statements about the accuracy of any given target within the plan. This means the user can provide doctors with authoritative statements about the accuracy of any proposed treatment plan. Studies have also shown that the NavPhan can be set up with extreme accuracy (0.2mm, 0.1deg) making it one of the most accurate devices on the market [2].

Are you more concerned about periodic E2E testing? The NavPhan's unique design enables accurate, flexible E2E testing so users can efficiently verify the treatment workflow from CT scan to treatment delivery.
