IMAGE / DATA MANAGEMENT
CUSTOMER'S CHALLENGES:
ACCESSIBILITY
The embedded nature of the
computer in the gantry limited
its accessibility.
THERMAL
The enclosed nature of the
application resulted in elevated
thermal requirements
.
RUGGEDIZATION
Movement associated with
the computer in the gantry
required a solution resilient to
shock/vibration.

ARCHITECTURE
The targeted compute solution,
which included integration of a
frame grabber card, was
designed to quickly capture raw
data from a kV Detector on the
gantry and send it to a
reconstruction server
associated with the
radiotherapy instrument.
CORE TECHNOLOGIES
Intel-based desktop technology
was paired with advanced NVIDIA
GPU technology and packaged into
a short-depth custom 2U chassis
that was mounted directly onto
the gantry of the radiation
therapy system.
APPLICATION / DATA
This application involves an
image-guided radiation therapy
(IGRT) system with digitally
reconstructed radiographs (DRRs)
to better direct the radiation. The
system includes computerized
treatment planning capabilities for
generating beam shapes and dose
distributions.
DC VALUE & SOLUTION
DC’s extensive healthcare market expertise and
deep understanding of the customer’s needs
enabled development of a unique short-depth 2U,
reverse I/O designed solution that met the
environmentally challenging requirements of the
customer’s application.
DEDICATED DIFFERENCE
Our collaborative design process revealed the
customer’s most important design requirements.
DC’s design and engineering capabilities worked to
develop a solution that met all of the customer’s
design challenges.
Long-term strategic supply chain relationships
ensured the solution met the customer’s long l
ifecycle requirements.
