Philips Medical Systems is introducing several new products at this week's annual meeting of the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) in Pittsburgh.
Conformal Arc radiation panning software allows users of Philips' Pinnacle3 radiation therapy planning system to treat patients with hundreds of beams while conforming to the target, according to the firm. Philips is also showing physics modeling tools for Pinnacle3, adding more precise representation of linear accelerator parameters.
The Andover, MA-based vendor is also showcasing sliding-window intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) treatment planning. This tool allows users of Philips P3IMRT software and Varian linear accelerators to plan treatments using radiation that's delivered as the multileaf collimators move across the treatment field, Philips said.
All three products recently received Food and Drug Administration 510(k) clearance, Philips said.
