Multimodality vendor Philips Medical Systems of Andover, MA, is demonstrating upgrades to its radiation therapy software at this week's American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology (ASTRO) meeting in Denver.
The company is introducing version 8.0 of its Pinnacle3 workstation software. The new software includes a tool set for modular-based segmentation (MBS), which provides clinicians with anatomical templates that can be dragged and dropped onto the patient's image data. The shapes can then be automatically adapted to fit the patient's organs, reducing the time spent by oncologists and dosimetrists manually drawing contours around organs and other anatomical structures.
Philips has also embedded its Syntegra automated image registration protocol directly into Pinnacle3 and the company's AcQSim3 CT simulation system.
