Beekley Medical RT-SPOT Elevated Skin Markers for CT Simulation

  Getting It Right the First Time: How Beekley Medical RT-SPOT Elevated Skin Markers Are Changing CT Simulation

 

Accuracy and efficiency go hand in hand in radiation therapy. Radiation therapists, dosimetrists, and medical physicists know that the foundation of every successful treatment plan starts with one critical step: CT simulation. It’s where precise planning begins—and where small errors can lead to major downstream challenges. 

One common source of frustration in the simulation process is the interference of traditional skin markers in the automatic body contour. It might seem like a minor inconvenience, but when you’re trying to stay on schedule, minimize patient discomfort, and support seamless planning, every second and every scan matters.

The only skin marker for CT simulation that is elevated from the skin line and helps to exclude the marker from the automatic body contour

 



Existing skin markers affect dose calculations and must be manually contoured out, increasing the dose planning time per patient. Manual contouring can be imperfect leading to dose inaccuracies or rework of treatment plans.

 

RT-SPOT is an elevated skin marker designed to minimize dose perturbation and reduce the need for manual contouring.

 

* Minimizes dose perturbation and helps ensure dose accuracy

* Increase efficiency and save time

* Reduce the need for manual contouring

* Flexible line, easier to form into desired shapes

* Stays in place on the skin and thermoplastics

 

■  Conclusion: Get It Right the First Time

CT simulation is too important to leave room for error. And in a field where accuracy and timing are everything, the tools you use should support both. RT-SPOT skin markers help radiation oncology teams reduce rework, increase efficiency, and plan with confidence from the start.

 

■  It’s time to rethink how a small skin marker can make a big difference.
