 ===== Overview and Indications for Use =====
-The primary purpose of this product is to provide an advanced optical scanning technology using an iPad App that enables the user to capture a three dimensional, full color, dimensionally accurate of the patient and the treatment area drawn by the physician. The user is then able to digitize the treatment area, design the electron aperture as well as place the beam utilizing decimal3D. The decimal3D app also allows the user to order through an interface with the decimal Direct API.
+The primary purpose and intended use of this device is to improve the efficiency of designing patient specific radiotherapy devices through the use of optical (laser) scanning technology. This device will serve as a direct replacement to the current processes for designing such patient-specific radiotherapy devices. One such common current process is for electron therapy clinical setups, which involves hand drawing of the patient-specific aperture shape onto a semi-transparent “template” block, using the treatment light field to verify accuracy against the treatment area that has been outlined directly on a patient by the treating physician. This now flattened and projected aperture shape can then be scanned and digitized allowing for computer controlled fabrication. This new decimal3D device will replace this process by providing a means to accurately scan and digitize the treatment area.  After the surface scan is obtained, this device also provides a means for designing and ordering the required devices (e.g. digitization of the field for electron apertures), analogous to the current digitization process in the existing clinical workflow.
-Furthermore, since the accuracy of information displayed by an application such as this is very important to the proper treatment of patients, it is critical that users have the appropriate educational and clinical experience backgrounds to adequately understand and use the product. Additionally, since each radiotherapy treatment machine produces a unique beam of radiation, there is much responsibility on the end users to adequately commission and test this software before the system is utilized for patient treatment.
