Elekta have created a 3-D Virtual
Clinic which offers radiation therapists, administrators, patients and
investors alike a unique opportunity to better acquaint themselves with
Elekta’s products and solutions and how they are interconnected.
The
Elekta Virtual Clinic was initially designed as an Elekta internal
training aid, however, following huge interest from the healthcare
community Elekta are making this exciting platform available for
general view.
The clinic, available via, www.elekta.com/evc
allows the user to follow the course of treatment for a patient
undergoing lung treatment, from initial consultation, treatment
planning, radiation treatment all the way through to completion in the
MOSAIQ® patient management system.
Alternatively, it is possible
to ‘fly over’ and zoom in to find out more about specific treatment
tools, such as Elekta Synergy® and Leksell Gamma Knife®. Also available
are an auditorium which allows the viewer to view movies and a library
which contains case-studies and treatment protocol papers.
To
further assist navigation and provide a 'friendlier' environment, voice
over commentary guides users through various parts of the clinic,
explaining for example the benefits of the MOSAIQ Electronic Medical
Record. Further functionality and content including a focus on Elekta
VMAT* are planned and will be incorporated in a future release of the
Elekta Virtual Clinic.
Elekta are inviting all interested
parties to visit www.elekta.com/evc where they can view or download the
entire clinic and leave feedback via 'Send a Comment'.

Elekta VMAT is pending FDA 510(k) premarket clearance and is not yet available for commercial delivery in the US.
