RaySearch to demonstrate latest RayStation® NEWS at ESTRO 2015


During April 25-27, RaySearch Laboratories AB (publ) will be exhibiting at the
3rd ESTRO Forum in Barcelona, Spain. The company will demonstrate the new
features in its proprietary treatment planning system RayStation®, notably new
advanced proton functionalities and planning tools for Wave arc capable
machines. Attendees are welcome to stop by RaySearch in booth #2200 and
demonstrations can already now be booked at raysearchlabs.com.

About RayStation®
RayStation® integrates all RaySearch’s advanced treatment planning solutions
into a flexible treatment planning system. It combines unique features such as
Multi-Criteria Optimization with full support for 4D adaptive radiation therapy.
It also includes functionality such as RaySearch’s market-leading algorithms for
IMRT and VMAT optimization and highly accurate dose engines for photon, electron
and proton therapy. The system is built on the latest software architecture and
has a graphical user interface offering state-of-the-art usability.

Highlights in RayStation 4.7
Multi-Criteria Optimization for PBS
RayStation® 4.7 features Multi-Criteria Optimization (MCO) for proton pencil
beam scanning (PBS) optimization. MCO planning makes it possible to plan in a
more interactive and exploratory way where fundamental trade-offs can be made in
real time by the dosimetrist and the physician. It can help simplify the
planning process while improving the quality of the plans. This has previously
been available for photon treatments, and is now also available for proton PBS
planning.

Planning for Wave Arc Capable Machines (Brainlab Vero)
In 2013, RaySearch and Brainlab AG have agreed to collaborate in the field of
treatment planning for radiation therapy and dose optimization with the goal to
automate crucial steps in the treatment process. As a result of this
collaboration the Wave arc planning module is now available in RayStation® 4.7.
With Wave arc planning, it is now possible to plan VMAT treatments for
Brainlab’s Vero machine, where the gantry ring is allowed to turn at the same
time as the gantry angle changes. This allows for design of even more patient
individualized treatments.

Works in Progress
The results of ongoing developments will be demonstrated, including carbon ion
planning, improved plan protocols for automated planning, and general system
improvements.

Lunch Symposium: Advancing Radiation Therapy through Software Innovation
On Sunday April 26, from 13:15 to 14:30, RaySearch will hold a lunch symposium
on the theme of “Advancing Radiation Therapy through Software Innovation” in
meeting room #115, Level 1. The symposium will show how software is and will be
the driving force of innovation in radiation therapy and notably in adaptive
therapy.

Moderator: Prof. Dr. Hans Langendijk, Chair. Department of Radiation Oncology,
Groningen, Netherlands
