Key proton and particle news in RayStation
RaySearch is a proud world leader in particle therapy planning and workflow software, with well received features in RayStation. RayStation is selected by 52 particle radiotherapy clinics in the world spread over 18 countries, and the number is increasing.
RayStation's celebrated proton features on display at PTCOG 58 will include our Monte Carlo dose engine for computation and optimization with or without apertures, our pioneering 4D-robust optimization, robust evaluation workspace and interplay evaluation. Proton features in coming releases of RayStation will also be demonstrated, such as support for ocular anatomy modelling and planning.
New in RayStation is the support for boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT)*. BNCT planning in RayStation is developed together with Sumitomo Heavy Industries, Ltd. and Neutron Therapeutics, Inc.
Functionalities for carbon ion PBS* planning include fast dose computation on GPU, robust optimization, RBE dose optimization using the local effect model (LEM) and mikrodosimetric kinetic model (MKM), dose tracking and adaptive re-planning tools. These features will also be demonstrated. MKM is a new feature that will be included in the coming release of RayStation 9A*.
