Portal radiographs are used in radiation therapy treatment to assist in simulating and visualizing the localization of radiation therapy. Fujifilm’s CR system supports Simulation and Localization (Portal Imaging). However, it is important to note that our technology does not support the third type of imaging, Verification.

Fujifilm’s PC cassette is designed to be used with FDA-cleared radiation treatment linear accelerators (LINAC) or Cobalt 60 units.

(available with FCR only) for medically charged particle radiation therapy (portal localization) imaging. This exam identifies and confirms the imaging cancer treatment field and position to help identify treatment setup and adjustments. Portal images can be compared to routine radiographs to monitor irradiation field displacements. The Fujifilm PC cassette is designed to be used with FDA-cleared radiation treatment linear accelerators (LINAC) or Cobalt 60 units.

Portal Imaging requires our special PC type cassette(s), our standard ST-VI Imaging Plate (IP), FCR Carbon XL reader unit, and an FDX Console workstation.

PC cassettes can be used with FCR Carbon XL reader units and most legacy FCR systems.

No specific software modifications to the FCR reader are required.

Fujifilm offers a complete Portal package which includes FCR Carbon XL reader unit, FDX Console workstation, (2) ST-IV 14×17 Imaging Plates, (2) Type PC 14×17 Cassettes, (2) Application days
