The University of Maryland Marlene and Stewart Greenebaum Cancer Center announced it has purchased a RayStation system from radiotherapy planning software firm RaySearch Laboratories.
The system will allow radiation oncologists to customize the radiation dose delivered to cancer patients during their course of treatment. RayStation enables users to adjust the initial treatment plan and tailor treatment to the individual patient based on changes in tumor size or anatomical changes such as weight loss.
Full use of the system will begin this spring at the Greenebaum Cancer Center and later in the year at several other hospitals in the University of Maryland Medical System.
