Valencia Applicator Set

Non-invasive Brachytherapy: The Valencia Applicator design allows for non-invasive brachytherapy of skin cancer^{1, 2}, which can be performed in a few fractions with high dose rate Ir-192 sources. The tungsten-shielded applicator provides a flat dose profile to the skin to provide a more uniform dose to the target area.

Integration with SagiPlan®: The calculation of the dose distribution in SagiPlan^® is performed according to a hybrid TG-43 technique with a virtual source model based on Monte-Carlo simulations. This model allows for easy and well documented dose prescriptions in SagiPlan^®. Furthermore, dose and applicator visualization is available to show the dose in respective ultrasound images.

Integration with SagiNova^®: The 20 mm and 30 mm versions have different tube lengths to allow for automatic length verification with the SagiNova^® afterloader. If the treatment plan requires a 20 mm applicator, the afterloader measures the length of the connected applicator and checks that it matches the expectation.

¹  For use on intact skin.
²  Currently, the Valencia Applicator Set is not compatible with MultiSource.
