Introduction
About IVD Solutions
IVD Solutions™ is a measurement system for In Vivo Dosimetry—the real time measurement of
radiation dose administered to a patient during therapy.
radiation dose administered to a patient during therapy.
The equipment consists of two models (Figure 1-1):
•
Model 1136, wireless rf-IVD

—connected by a wireless link within the treatment vault. This
eliminates cable tangle on the floor of the treatment room, providing a neater, safer
environment.

•
Model 1137, wired IVD

—connected with a cable.
Figure 1-1. Model 1136 wireless and model 1137 wired detector pods
The two models are identical except for the wireless circuits and a battery in the Model 1136.
You can connect up to four diode detectors to each Pod with snap-on LEMO connectors. For
example, you might have a 1-4 MV detector on channel A, a 6-12 MV diode on channel B, a 15- 25
MV diode on channel C, and an electron diode on channel D. This would allow you to use a single
Pod to cover most treatment ranges. Or you could set up another Pod to measure multiple points
simultaneously, such as entrance and exit doses.

Each Pod contains a complete measurement system, including electrometer, calibration memory,
and communication circuits. The other parts of the system are common to all models. For exam-
ple, cables, power supply, Control Module, and PC application software, are common and can be
used with either model. See “Parts and accessories for the IVD Solutions” on page 9.
NOTE: Components of Models 1133/1135 can be intermixed with components of Model 1136/
1137 with minor changes to hardware, software, and firmware. see “Using Model 1133/1135 com-
ponents” on page 83.
