Featured Solutions at AAPM 2025
Integrated Shim™ System Reengineered for Improved Head & Neck Positioning
The Integrated Shim System, backed by over a decade of clinical use, has been reengineered to improve head and neck positioning. The new knurled design of the shim pin head provides greater control during adjustments, offering clearer feedback and mitigating accidental changes during handling or storage. Additionally, the updated, more compact shim design facilitates easier treatment planning with reduced material interference. This advancement continues to empower clinicians by enhancing precision and efficiency in their work.
