Precision Calibration Plate for Vision RT

Vision RT Dedicated Calibration Plate

In radiation therapy, precision is everything. Treatment systems rely on extremely accurate positioning to ensure radiation is delivered exactly where it is needed while protecting surrounding healthy tissue.

Vision RT, a global leader in Surface Guided Radiation Therapy (SGRT), develops technology that helps clinicians monitor patient position during treatment with exceptional accuracy. Their systems use calibrated laser references and optical tracking to maintain sub-millimetre alignment throughout the procedure.

To support this process, Vision RT required a dedicated calibration plate capable of providing a stable, repeatable reference surface for laser calibration.

Standard panels were not suitable. The plate needed to meet strict dimensional tolerances, maintain long-term structural stability, and perform consistently in clinical environments where calibration accuracy directly affects treatment quality.

Even minor dimensional movement or surface inconsistency could compromise calibration reliability. A purpose-built solution was required.

The Solution

Vision RT partnered with Gilcrest Manufacturing to design and manufacture a bespoke calibration plate engineered specifically for this application.

Using Gilcrest’s customised panel manufacturing capability, the calibration plate was developed to meet precise dimensional and performance requirements.

Key considerations included:

The customised calibration plates now support Vision RT’s laser calibration process with a stable and reliable reference surface.

This delivered several key benefits:

For Vision RT, the solution provides confidence that calibration processes remain stable and repeatable, supporting the accuracy requirements essential for radiation therapy systems.

• Pinpoint calibration accuracy to support reliable laser alignment for SGRT systems
• Long-term dimensional stability, ensuring consistent performance across repeated calibration cycles
• Durable composite construction ideally suited to regular use within clinical environments

Gilcrest worked closely with Vision RT’s engineering team to ensure the panel specification met both technical and operational requirements.

The result was a precision-manufactured composite calibration plate designed to deliver stable, repeatable performance within clinical environments.

The Results

With the new calibration plates:
• Vision RT achieved pinpoint laser accuracy, enhancing patient safety and treatment effectiveness.
• The solution provided long-term durability, standing up to repeated use.
• The customised approach meant minimal disruption and a perfect fit for their unique requirements.
