Common questions.

Educational software. No patient uploads.

Is the trainer free?

Yes. The trainer is free during the public beta. A free account is required, and no card is needed.

Is it for clinical use?

No. This is an educational simulator, not a medical device, and it must not be used to plan, verify, or deliver clinical treatment. Setup errors, scenarios, and displayed values are simulated, and the trainer does not accept patient uploads.

Do I need an account?

Yes. A free account is required to open the trainer, access all public beta cases, and save your progress.

Who is it designed for?

It is designed for radiation therapy students, educators, training programs, and clinical staff. It can be used for IGRT registration practice and classroom demonstration without access to a treatment machine.

What types of matching can I practise?

You can practise 2D/2D registration and three-plane cone-beam CT (CBCT) or magnetic resonance (MR) matching. Available controls and scored degrees of freedom vary by case. Cases include bony anatomy, soft tissue, fiducials and annotated targets, plus connected Full Treatment simulations.

Practise your next case.
