Medical imaging software developer Mirada Medical is highlighting several studies featuring the company's software at the annual meeting of the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) in Indianapolis next week.
The studies cover Mirada's Deformable Image Registration software and its use in radiotherapy planning.
Mirada's atlas-based autocontouring technology is the focus of one paper that investigates how the use of multiple atlases can enhance the quality of autocontouring results and compares two multiatlascontouring methods to a single fixed atlas method.
Another study titled explores calculating dose volume histograms (DVHs) to assess treatment plans. Different implementations for calculating DVHs can cause significant variation, which may result in errors in clinical decision-making and results from multicenter trials. Researchers found that the resolution of the dose grid, whether to calculate on the CT or dose grid, and the method of voxel counting are the most common sources of variations.
