RaySearch receives 510(k) clearance for RayStation® 3.5


In March RaySearch Laboratories AB announced that version 3.5 of RaySearch's
RayStation® treatment planning system had been released for clinical use.
RaySearch has now received 510(k) clearance from the FDA for RayStation® 3.5
meaning that the new features can be marketed in the US.

The most important new features are state of-the-art tools for treatment
planning of radiation therapy with electrons and protons, complementing
RayStation’s extensive tools for planning and optimization of radiation therapy
with photons. Proton Beam Design is a brand new module in RayStation® that
contains tools for treatment planning of double scattered and uniformly scanned
protons, such as a clinically approved Pencil Beam dose engine and automatic
generation of treat-and-protect beams. This is the first clinical release of
proton planning functionality in RayStation®, to be followed by many others,
such as Pencil Beam Scanning techniques and Monte Carlo dose calculations.
Electron Beam Design is another entirely new module that includes a Monte Carlo
dose engine for electron radiation therapy and tools for manual editing of beams
similar to how it is done in the 3D-CRT module.

In addition the new version contains a wide range of other new features and
improvements.

“We are of course happy that we now have a complete offering for our US
customers, with support for all treatment modalities including protons and
electrons, and support all IMRT and VMAT delivery modes with all relevant
treatment machines. This new version also includes some highly useful tools to
improve the clinical workflow and further expands our market-leading toolbox for
adaptive 4D treatments, which I believe further cements RayStation’s position as
the most advanced treatment planning system on the US market”, says Johan Löf,
CEO of RaySearch.
