OPERATOR'S MANUAL FOR THE SYSTEM<br />
2 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION<br />
2.1 GENERAL<br />
The System is compact and easily transportable within a typical Radiotherapy or<br />
Radiology treatment clinic or other laboratory. The dosimeters are placed on the<br />
patient and measured by the Reader before and after irradiation. All data is output via<br />
the mobileMOSFET Remote Monitoring Dose Verification Software, provided with<br />
the <strong>system</strong> to control the Reader and generate a report for the patient’s record.<br />
In operation, the mobileMOSFET Reader is set up in the treatment room and<br />
connected to the required number of Dosimeters. The maximum number of MOSFET<br />
dosimeters is five per Reader. Alternatively, one can connect a single MOSFET<br />
Linear Array to a mobileMOSFET Reader. The mobileMOSFET Software can support<br />
up to eight Readers simultaneously during a single procedure.<br />
The measurement procedure is controlled by a PC using the mobileMOSFET<br />
Software through the RS-232C cable or <strong>Best</strong> <strong>Medical</strong> <strong>Canada</strong> Ltd provided <strong>wireless</strong><br />
transceiver (BMC Part No. TN-RD-38). MOSFET dosimeters or the MOSFET Linear<br />
Array can be taped to the patient or placed in a phantom. The dose measurements<br />
are carried out by clicking the “START” and “READ” buttons on the Dose<br />
Measurement Screen.<br />
In applications, the mobileMOSFET Software can:<br />
• Handle up to five (5) verification sessions simultaneously. Operations in each<br />
session are totally independent.<br />
• For each verification session, up to eight (8) Reader modules (or up to 40<br />
dosimeters/8 Linear Arrays) can be used. Operations on each Reader<br />
module (i.e. Start or Read) can be performed collectively or individually.<br />
• For each Reader module, all dosimeters will be measured at the same time,<br />
however, measurement on individual dosimeters can also be easily<br />
performed (see Section 4.6).<br />
The following section contains a detailed description of the System components.<br />
For setting up, operating and calibrating the System, see Sections 3.0, 4.0 and 7.0,<br />
respectively.<br />
