STOCKHOLM, Sweden--Jan 20, 2009 - (HSMN NewsFeed) - RaySearch Laboratories AB (STO:RAYB) and Nucletron BV have extended their existing collaboration with two new treatment planning solutions for radiation therapy. According to a new development and license agreement, RaySearch will develop software modules for Model-Based Segmentation (MBS) and treatment planning of Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) for Oncentra® MasterPlan, Nucletron’s multimodality treatment planning system.
VMAT is a relatively new and advanced form of Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT), in which the target is continuously irradiated while the source of the beam rotates around the patient in single or multiple arcs. This concept enables faster treatment delivery compared to traditional IMRT, where the patient is irradiated only from a few selected angles. At the same time, treatment quality remains similar or can be improved compared with traditional IMRT. The new VMAT treatment planning solution will be integrated in the Oncentra® Optimizer module of MasterPlan.
