Learn about CIRPFAQs
1. Do you have imaging?
Artemis implements a novel concept of optical imaging combined with augmented reality for x-ray field visualization. In combination with a unique fully programmable XYZ stage, optimum field of view and SSD/dose rates, optimal conformality, dose rate, and throughput can be achieved.
2. Do you have planning?
Beam-eye-view optical imaging is used for augmented reality images for field setup, allowing the user to create multiple regions of interest, with each region capable of receiving individual prescriptions of energy and dose rate, all executable within a single irradiation plan.
3. How do I know the irradiator is performing correctly before starting an experiment?
When the system is powered up, it will run through an automated diagnostic routine to identify any operational issues with the system. If any issues are detected, users will be notified on-screen with suggested actions. If no issues are detected, users will be taken to the start of the workflow to recall a stored plan/experiment or start a new one. During use, the system will continue to background monitor for errors and notify if detected.
4. How does Artemis ensure repeatable and reliable dose delivery?
Artemis integrates standardized dosimetry protocols directly into the system through a physics interface that will be accessible to staff with the appropriate login credentials. The QA and physics protocols were developed in collaboration with the ADCL and leading academic radiation physicists to provide full transparency in dose measurement and reporting, data reproducibility, and harmonization across institutions.
5. Can I verify and document system performance over time for regulatory or publication purposes?
Yes. Artemis includes OncoMatrix™, an AI-powered performance monitoring and predictive maintenance platform that actively trends and predicts potential system issues to optimize workflows and minimize unexpected downtime. All data is transparently available to the user for reporting, regulatory, and publishing purposes.
6. Am I eligible for government grants to replace my cesium irradiator?
Yes. The Department of Energy, through the Office of Radiological Security (ORS), implemented the Cesium Irradiator Replacement Project (CIRP) in 2014 to provide generous financial assistance for research sites to remove, purchase, and cover post-warranty support for up to 5 years to replace their Cesium irradiators with X-Ray technology. The program applies to all US sites and some international sites on a case-by-case basis. Please consult with Empyrean to discuss the process and contacts within the ORS.
