西门子公司的550TxT型放射治疗台

一种新型放射治疗台被设计满足对稳定性与精确性不断增加的需求，符合现代放射肿瘤科的最新临床需要。

西门子医学公司研制了550TxT治疗台，具有改良的患者定位功能的创新性设计，提供的机械力高达负荷550磅（220公斤）。

西门子医疗公司肿瘤学护理系统总裁Ajit Singh博士指出：“就象我们公司的Oncor直线加速器和Coherence肿瘤科工作台一样，550TxT治疗桌设计用于满足当前与将来的治疗方案的需求。我们的客户合作伙伴为我们提出了需求清单，我们则努力工作满足他们的需要。当治疗体积较大患者时候的可用性以及精确性已经在真实环境中得以验证。我们十分高兴能够满足临床需求。”

这种治疗台的其它特征包括：不同炭纤维台面的选择、具有斜面加速功能的全自动移动方式、人类环境改造学的设计特征（比如治疗台侧面的触觉反馈控制按钮）、安装在治疗台内的手控闪光灯以帮助在黑暗治疗室内纠正患者位置。
 
Radiation Therapy Table
 
A new radiation therapy table was designed to meet the increasing demands for stability and accuracy and to fulfill the latest clinical requirements of modern radiation oncology departments.

The 550 TxT table, developed by Siemens Medical Systems (Erlangen, Germany), has an innovative design that improves patient positioning capabilities, while providing the mechanical strength that allows for a load capacity of 550 pounds (250 kg).

“Like our Oncor linear accelerator and Coherence suite of oncology workspaces, the 550 TxT is designed to meet the needs of current and future treatment protocols,” stated Ajit Singh, Ph.D., president of Siemens Medical Solutions Oncology Care Systems. “Our customer partners provided us with a list of requirements, and we have worked hard to achieve their requests. Availability and accuracy when treating larger patients has been identified as a very real necessity. We are only too happy to comply.”

Other features of the table include: a choice of different carbon fiber tabletops; all motorized movements with ramp-up speed functionality; ergonomic design features, such as tactile feedback buttons on the side panels of the table; and hand controls at the table with an integrated flashlight to assist with correct patient-positioning in the darkened treatment room.
