Compu•former® — Radiotherapy Compensator
Mold Cutting System
 Compu•former®
helps deliver uniform radiation over an entire treatment field.
It produces a mold used to make a compensator that provides
radiation beam attenuation to “compensate” for inhomogeneity.
The mold is cut from a foam block using a highly accurate
CNC milling machine. A Windows driven program interfaces with
treatment planning systems for quick, accurate beam compensation.
Radiotherapy teams worldwide depend on Huestis Medical ISO9001,
EN46001 and CE certified beam compensator systems. Our dedication
to quality is a commitment to radiotherapy accuracy.

Features
Uniform Radiation Dosage
- Delivers uniform radiation dosage over the entire treatment
area.
- Creates a compensating filter mold which provides radiation
beam attenuation to “compensate” for inhomogeneity.
Treatment Planning Interfaces
- Digitized files can be transferred from treatment planning
systems.
- Treatment planning file conversion is built-in to ensure
seamless integration..
- Inhomogeneity corrections can be accomplished through
TPS interface.
Versatile Options
- Compu•former® offers an efficient and economical
package including computer, menu-driven program, CNC milling
machine and supplies.
- Optional digitizing package includes magnetic source,
hand-held sensor, and non-metallic procedure table.
Manual Digitizing Option
- Hand-held digitizing stylus works with a low energy magnetic
field generator to record patient contours.
- Data is converted to X, Y, Z coordinates and averaged
into smooth contours.
- Contours can be viewed on screen from any beams eye view
to verify accuracy.
- Non-metallic procedure table included.
Precision Milling Accuracy
- Three-axis CNC milling machine ensures milling accuracy
of ± 1 mm.
- Cuts offset registration holes in block to ensure proper
orientation of the compensator on lexan tray.
- Produces repeatable, accurate, and fast cuts for unmatched
effectiveness.
- Compact design saves space: 34” x 34” x 52”
(86 x 86 x 132 cm).
- Electrical Requirements:120 VAC, 60 Hz.,10A (220 VAC,
50 Hz, 5A option).
Ease of Use
- Milling can be done remotely, at any time freeing valuable
treatment space.
- Uses precut, 10” x 10” x 2” foam blocks
(25.4 x 25.4 x 5.1 cm).
- Produces compensators up to approximately 22 cm (8.7”)
square.
- Changes for reduction ratio and treatment geometry are
programmed into the procedure.
- Built-in vacuum removes foam chips.
Compensating Material
- User definable compensating material.
- A stainless steel powder, gypsum and water mixture is
recommended.
- This easy to use mixture is readily available from Huestis
Medical.
