IBA's Compass 3-D treatment verification and dose analysis software helps reduce radiation exposure to critical structures. The system creates a beam model and measures 20 millisecond multileaf collimator (MLC) treatments and integrates this into gantry positions. The system then imports this data and reconstructs the dose using the patient's computed tomography (CT) data sets.
