New features in RayStation 6
New functionality and a wide range of general improvements will all be on show at AAMD. Major additions include support for Helical TomoTherapy*. RayStation will be the only system that enables planning for both conventional linacs and Accuray TomoTherapy systems, giving one point of control for all treatment planning activities.
RayStation 6 also introduces simultaneous optimization of multiple beam sets for SMLC, DMLC and VMAT, and MR-based planning, which makes it possible to use an MR image as the primary data set for photon therapy. Other highlights include Monte Carlo dose calculation for proton pencil beam scanning (PBS) and PBS planning with block apertures.
