High-quality stereotactic treatment planning
RayStation offers many proven tools to support stereotactic workflows. From planning to adaptive, we offer all the options you need to create high quality stereotactic treatment plans.
Stereotactic
Planning
Single planning platform with high-speed calculation
RayStation includes an ultrafast optimization engine that can solve virtually any posed optimization problem within radiation therapy regardless of beam modality and treatment technique – use the same software for stereotaxis as for the rest of your treatments. Thanks to the GPU technology, it takes seconds to calculate complex IMRT and VMAT plans, typical for stereotactic treatments, even for dose grids with resolution as fine as 1 mm.
Treatment techniques
- Stereotactic cones: static beams/plans or
static arc beams/plans can be created - Dynamic conformal arc
- IMRT
- VMAT
- TomoTherapy
- 3D-CRT
Key features
- Treat multiple targets with a single iso center
- Export plans to motion management systems
- Coplanar and non-coplanar beams for any linac-based technique
- Segment weight optimization for dynamic conformal arc
- Select which target(s) to treat with a beam
- Set the maximum MLC margin around a target
- Automated collimator angle selection to minimize exposure of healthy tissue
Take your planning to the next level
It is difficult in stereotactic planning to achieve optimal dose to targets and OAR due to high fraction doses, multiple and/or moving targets and tumors located near critical structures. The advanced optimization tools in RayStation will simplify your planning process.
Co-optimization of multiple beam sets
Optimize multiple techniques or plans with different prescriptions simultaneously.
Multi-criteria optimization
Use MCO to balance clinical trade-offs in real time. You can easily navigate to find the optimal trade-off between PTV coverage and OAR sparing.
Robust optimization
Create plans that are robust to patient setup errors and inter/intra-fractional organ motion.
Dose tracking and adaptive
Track the delivered dose and make an informed decision when to adapt your plan. When adaptation is necessary, you can easily create a new plan considering the delivered dose.
Biological evaluation
Evaluate tumor control probability and normal tissue complication probability using both physical and biological tools.
Plan evaluation
Evaluate and compare multiple plans with the plan evaluation tool.
