Stereotactic radiosurgery and body radiotherapy are non-surgical treatments that allows clinicians to treat cancer and abnormalities with a higher accuracy and dose per fraction than traditional radiotherapy. In order to achieve the precision planning required for stereotactic deliveries, Prowess has introduced several new tools to manage the workflow and added support for modeling various new treatment machine types.
These new capabilities are available within the Stereotactic customized workflow Ribbon and include a new dose based optimization objective function that has been developed to allow fast creation of plans based directly on the criteria that is used during evaluation. In addition, support for patient positioning frames, and absolute couch setups ensure the dose can be delivered with smaller margins.
Support for a variety of stereotactic machines including those with:
- Rotational and static shots
- Multiple shot sizes (collimators)
- Shot blocking and partial arcs
DVH and Dose based optimization approaches:
- DVH based constraints such as: max. dose, min. dose, points less than or greater than and EUD
- Dose based constraints such as: coverage, selectivity, gradient, and beam on time
Advanced patient setup:
- Imaging center point support for fast creation of setup fields
- Automatic and manual frame registration with three transitional and three rotational parameters
- Enhanced 3D Rooms Eye View visualization of table, frame and treatment machine
