Different workflows and solutions will be elaborated on while questioning if lasers still make the difference in patient alignment. The need for a fluent process in treatment units will be discussed and how this requirement can be implemented.

The presenters guide through solutions of the leading manufacturer of laser systems for patient alignment and explain supported workflows for an optimal use and integration in clinical routine.

This webinar presented by Raphael Schmidt and Michael Uhr will discuss:

• The advantages of using lasers for patient positioning in RT and how precise laser systems enhance safety for patient alignment, and therefore gain more time for treatment.
• An overview of the current laser system portfolio from LAP including integrated workflow solutions and installation options.

Raphael Schmidt (left) is responsible for the product management of laser systems for CT and MRI at LAP. During his studies at KIT (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology) he gained broad experience in different workflows in radiation therapy while analysing them. The topic of his final thesis dealt with the improvement of workflows in RT through new information and assistance systems. Raphael holds a degree in industrial engineering and management. Michael Uhr (right) is the product manager responsible for the APOLLO and ASTOR room lasers at LAP. Before switching to product management, Michael gained many years’ extensive experience  at LAP’s customer sites worldwide.
