gKteso introduces two models of the Radiotherapy Patient System (RPS) 6-D robotic couch for radiotherapy of cancer patients. The RPS base and RPS extended document fully automatically the process during the treatment with a linear accelerator. This is ensured by an integrated radio-frequency identification (RFID) reader, which reads in patient data and selected supporting aids (add-ons), providing those for further software and documentation of the treatment. In case the operating personnel select wrong add-ons, RPS will automatically detect this and send a signal accordingly.
