RayStation and RayCare on show at ESTRO 36
During 6–8 May, RaySearch will be exhibiting at the ESTRO 36 congress in Vienna, Austria. The company will demonstrate the innovative features in the latest release of its treatment planning system, RayStation®. In addition, RaySearch will give preview demonstrations of its forthcoming oncology information system, RayCare®*, which is due to be launched in the second half of 2017. Attendees are welcome to visit RaySearch at booth #1600, and demonstrations can be booked now at www.raysearchlabs.com.
New features in RayStation 6
New functionality and a wide range of general improvements will all be on show. Major additions include support for the Accuray Radixact™ System*. RayStation will be the only system that enables planning for both conventional linacs and the Accuray TomoTherapy platform treatment delivery system, giving one point of control for all treatment planning activities. Björn Hårdemark, Deputy CEO of RaySearch, will present a preview of the system in the Accuray booth on Sunday, 7 May 1 from 16:05 to 16:25. Demonstrations can also be booked by visiting the RaySearch and Accuray booths.
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 planning image for photon therapy. Other highlights on show include Monte Carlo dose calculation for proton pencil beam scanning (PBS) and PBS planning with block apertures.
Automated planning and Plan Explorer
RayStation has extensive automated planning features that help optimize workflows and create new treatment possibilities. Plan Explorer, for example, makes it possible to automatically generate a large number of high-quality treatment plan alternatives, saving valuable time and giving the clinician a wide range of options to consider.
Adaptive therapy
RayStation is designed to make adaptive therapy easy to implement and perform in clinical practice. At the RaySearch booth, attendees can discover how automation features and smart tools in the fully integrated dose tracking and adaptive planning modules make it straightforward to get started.
The next-generation OIS
RayCare has been developed from the ground up by RaySearch to support the complex logistical challenges in modern, large-scale radiation therapy centers. RayCare integrates the high-performance radiation therapy algorithms available in RayStation and adds advanced features for clinical resource optimization, workflow automation and adaptive radiation therapy.
