RayStation® 3.0 released

RaySearch Laboratories AB announces that version 3.0 of RaySearch’s RayStation®
treatment planning system has been released for clinical use in the European
Union, USA, Japan and Australia and is pending regulatory approval in Canada,
China, New Zealand and South Korea. The new version includes a wide range of new
features and improvements.

RayStation® already included all of RaySearch’s market-leading optimization
algorithms for VMAT, IMRT and 3D-CRT. Version 3.0 adds numerous tools for
traditional 3D-CRT planning. This means that RayStation is truly a state-of-the
-art treatment planning systems for all treatment, ranging from the more
traditional standard treatments to the most sophisticated advanced treatments.

From the start, RayStation® was designed to handle 4D adaptive radiation therapy
and therefore, for instance, allows the users to perform dose tracking. This
offers the possibility to perform accurate dose accumulation of any delivered or
planned dose to any patient geometry using any combination of CT, MR, PET and 4D
-CT data set. The new release includes further groundbreaking features in this
field and RayStation 3.0 closes the whole adaptive loop with full support for
adaptive replanning. This means that RayStation® is the first treatment planning
system that lets the clinicians monitor the impact of a changing patient
geometry as the treatment progresses, and seamlessly adjust and reoptimize the
treatment in the same system.

In addition to the new features, RayStation® 3.0 includes major improvements and
performance enhancements that further facilitate and speed up the treatment
planning process. One very important example is the addition of full support for
scripting using the well-established IronPython language. This lets the users
automate large parts of the treatment planning process which both has the
potential to save time and improve consistency. The scripting tools also enable
extraction of any relevant patient data point thereby facilitating advanced
studies of large amounts of patient data. Other examples include extensive
improvements of the patient modeling workspace, the addition of several new
organ models to the integrated model based segmentation tool and speed
improvements in RayStation’s unique multi-criteria optimization tools. In
addition, the beam commissioning workspace has been reimplemented and powerful
tools have been added to facilitate the beam commissioning process which
minimizes the workload for the physics departments in the installation phase.

“RayStation® is by far the most advanced treatment planning system on the market
today. The graphical interface and the workflow offer unrivalled usability but
even more importantly RayStation® offers support for the radiation treatments of
the future such as fully adaptive, patient-optimized treatments”, says Johan
Löf, CEO of RaySearch.

“We announced the previous version of RayStation® in the beginning of this year
and we are very proud that we can already release an even stronger product. This
development pace really sets us apart and we have the intention to continue at
this pace to further extend our technological lead”, concludes Johan Löf.
