Medibord’s CT Overlays (Multimodal) are manufactured from a new patent pending multimodal composite.
​
The composite delivers equivalent imaging and strength properties to existing materials used in X-ray and MRI radiotherapy planning but works across all modalities. Medibord has developed a new composite called Lucide™ to specifically address radio-translucency for treatment and X-Ray imaging, low electrical conductivity for MRI and maximal homogeneity to aid automated image co-registration.
These one-piece lightweight overlays are precision engineered to securely locate and remove from the cradle or existing couch-top of your system with ease. In this way we deliver a radiotherapy planning solution which is perfect for hospitals where CT scanners are shared between Radiotherapy and Radiology Departments or where absolute positioning accuracy is needed between systems.

Physical Features
-
Minimal visibility on CT: attenuation coefficient of 0.04mm-1 vs 0.05mm-1 for carbon fibre
-
Minimal attenuation of radiotherapy beams: 1.2% vs 1.7% for carbon fibre at same thickness
-
High homogeneity for megavoltage imaging
