For particular treatment areas the Mastercouch provides more radiation-friendly treatment options. Standard couchtops often contain metal or less efficient carbon fiber parts that attenuate the beam and cause scatter in the region of interest. The Mastercouch provides a system to move these parts out of the treatment region.

The modular Mastercouch^® system consists of a base to replace the existing treatment couch and is extended with a treatment module. This module extends the treatment field to provide a treatment field that is free from metal components. In addition, positioning accessories can be attached to the indexed positioning pivots mounted along both sides of the couch.

Module options include: a standard module, head & neck modules for either the Type-S^™ or Posifix^® systems,  and the stereotactic treatment module.
