Brainlab Introduces New Generation of VMAT* for Brain and Spine at ESTRO in Barcelona |
|
Munich, 24. April, 2015 (APA/OTS) - Introduction of new
"Elements" completes the portfolio of automated, indication-specific
planning tools for radiosurgery/SBRT - The "Elements"
strategy-indication-specific focused software applications aimed at
enhancing the workflow for difficult to treat indications in the
brain and spine introduced in 2013-comes full circle with the
introduction of automated stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) planning
tools. These new Elements enable on-the-fly generation of consistent
treatment plans for VMAT delivery. |
"Elements are a new generation of products that are
indication-specific, user-friendly, fast, automatic and flexible"
stated Stefan Vilsmeier, President and CEO of Brainlab, "Instead of
competing with existing treatment planning systems, Elements
complement them by providing additional treatment possibilities for
difficult to treat indications."
Previously introduced Elements for cranial radiosurgery have focused
on enhancing image fusion, distortion correction* of various MRI
sequences, interactive segmentation* of tumors and vascular
structures, fibertracking*, dose review, and automatic segmentation*
of critical structures. Adaptive Hybrid Surgery tools have helped to
simulate and evaluate the feasibility of radiosurgery treatments at
different resection levels during surgery. Radiosurgery treatment
planning for cranial indications, however, remains a manual
iterative process that is highly user-dependent. One of the
revolutionary new Elements tools* Brainlab will introduce
automatically generates highly conformal treatment plans for a
variety of indications, locations, sizes, shapes and fractionation
schemes, all with the click of a button. Instead of choosing between
different delivery techniques, the Element algorithm produces a
MU-optimized plan for delivery as volumetric, intensity modulated
arc. For treatment of spherical targets, such as singular
metastases, or small functional targets, such as trigeminal
neuralgia, another new Element has been designed around the
challenges of these specific treatments.
Spinal radiosurgery represents another challenging treatment with
multiple complex and manual steps. Brainlab presents its vision of a
"perfect" workflow, leveraging decades of experience in automatic
image processing. In addition to streamlining the fusion and
segmentation steps, another VMAT-based automatic planning Element
for spinal SRS can generate complex yet highly conformal plans. This
tool is specifically designed to address the visualization and
optimization requirements for stereotactic treatments for spine
indications.
ESTRO: April 24-28 at the Centre de Convencions Internacional de
Barcelona. Visit Brainlab: booth #3000.
