APOLLO ROOM L ASERS – HIGH
PRECISION TOOLS FOR PATIENT SETUP
AND IMPROVED TREATMENT QUALIT Y
Precise, accurate and reproducible patient positioning is paramount to the success of radiation
therapy treatments. Combined with on board imaging systems the patient positioning lasers provide
an interface between the patient and the treatment delivery system. Room lasers are necessary tools
for aligning the patient, daily reference isocenter adjustments, and assuring optimized isocenter
accuracy for your linear accelerator. The LAP APOLLO lasers deliver the highest precision, accuracy
and reproducibility: with their long lines and 6 degrees of remote controlled freedom they are
ideally suited for today’s advanced treatments.

MAKING THE DIFFERENCE
When using a treatment or imaging system the isocenter must be precisely verified. The LAP APOLLO
positioning lasers project ultra-fine laser lines denoting the isocenter of these systems so that the patient can be
quickly and accurately placed on the treatment couch in a reproducible position. LAP APOLLO lasers set the
highest standard when it comes to line quality, stability, reliability and ease of use.

CUSTOMIZED SOLUTIONS
The isocenter of the treatment or imaging system is identified by a set
of fan beam room lasers, each of which defines an orthogonal plane.
These planes intersect the isocenter to define the room coordinate BRACKETS FOR FALSE CEILINGS
