RayStation: External beam treatment planning system

摘要

RaySearch Laboratories is a world leader in the field of advanced software and creator of the RayStation treatment planning system for radiation therapy. The aim with RayStation is to deliver an unmatched user experience and leading functionality. Unique features described here include multiatlas based autosegmentation for contouring, deformable registration with 2 different algorithms, multicriteria optimization, Plan Explorer, fallback planning, ultrafast computation speed, and 4-dimensional (4D) adaptive radiation therapy. RayStation can be used to plan for electrons and photons on traditional linacs, for protons on various delivery systems, and for Accuray's helical TomoTherapy system. This paper describes some of these modalities, with reference to clinical cases and including descriptions of the impact on workflow.
