Medical imaging software developer Mirada Medical is launching new software designed to perform automated image processing for radiation therapy at this week's American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) meeting.
Mirada describes its Workflow Box software as a black-box server that performs automated processing, such as atlas-based contouring and recontouring for adaptive therapy. It requires no user interaction and also performs batch processing, which reduces user time required to perform tasks, thereby improving efficiency.
The software can automatically contour large numbers of planning CT images without user interaction, and transfers the results to a therapy planning system or Mirada's RTx workstation for review and editing. It operates via standard DICOM protocols, and users can route all planning studies to the Workflow Box server for autocontouring and transfer to the treatment planning system. Workflow Box also integrates tightly with Mirada's other radiation therapy products
Also at the ASTRO show, Mirada is introducing a new version of its RTx software that features new atlas-based contouring and 4D workflows. The new features include live contouring of playing 4D cine loops and offer the potential of significantly increased efficiency and confidence in 4D planning, the company believes.
