MLC Leaf resolution may be characterized to 0.10 cm or 0.01 cm. MLC Fit
calculates the leaf positions for a machine to a resolution of either 0.10 cm
or 0.01 cm based on this MLC resolution setting in the machine
characterization. MLC area calculations have sufficient internal precision to
achieve the output resolution required by the characterization regardless of
the computational methods employed. MLC leaf positions are stored in the
CAUTION MOSAIQ database in units of 0.01 cm and displayed in MOSAIQ to a precision
of 0.01 cm.

LUGMSQ0010/4.0/24-Jun-2014
Images exported from electronic sources with DICOM RT Image can include
scaling data that can be used in MOSAIQ. Therefore, you do not have to reticle
scale these images.
To manually reticle scale an image you must have a visible reference such as
a “burned-in” graticule that represents the central axis and relative scale of
the image. The reference image:
CAUTION

Must have square pixels

Must NOT have a Shadow filter applied

Must not have already been used in a treatment field that has been
treated

Must not have an associated offset
You must also associate the image with a treatment field, prescription site,
or patient before reticle scaling.

LUGMSQ0010/4.0/24-Jun-2014
If the source-to-axis distance is not added in the SAD field, you must type
the correct value for SAD in this field.
The tick marks of the “burned-in” graticule on the reference image are
calibrated to the SAD defined at the treatment machine. The tick marks
therefore represent the tick marks of the graticule used by the machine
when the image was added.
CAUTION
When reticle scaling, you must type the correct SAD in the Image window,
and precisely align the center and tick marks of the MOSAIQ reticle tool
with the center and tick marks of the “burned in” graticule on the image.
This must be done correctly to add accurate image scaling information
and a central axis position for the image in MOSAIQ.

Preparing the System and Patient for Image Registration
Make sure that your treatment machine gantry, collimator, SAD, and all

does this. The Image Registration process will not work properly if your

proper machine characterization.

If you use the Varian 4D Integrated Treatment Console (ITC) interface,
TrueBeam™ interface, or the Siemens syngo interface, then SEQUENCER only
records the geometric machine and treatment data and images. These
interfaces do not verify the treatment delivery.
The MHI-TM2000/Vero interface only coordinates the plan selection and
recording of the geometric machine and treatment data. This interface does not
use the plan from MOSAIQ.
See Following the Passive Plan Interface Workflow for these interfaces.

MOSAIQ lets you do barcode verification of stereotactic cones and Dynamic
Multileaf Collimators (DMLCs) used by Elekta treatment machines. Elekta
supplies the cones and devices with a barcode attached to them.
At the time of treatment verification, MOSAIQ reads the barcode value that you
scan and shows it in the Actuals column in the Verified Treatment window to
make sure that the correct cone or DMLC device is selected.
Although the MOSAIQ software lets you print applicator-specific barcodes, do
not print barcodes for the stereo cones, and DMLC (MkIV and MkV) devices.
Contact your Field Support Engineer if you need a new barcode.
