Segasist Releases Prostate Auto-Contouring Treatment Planning Software

 
October 21, 2011

Segasist P-AC is a new prostate auto-contouring software tool from Segasist Technologies, a Canadian software company.

The software was developed for the purpose of segmenting magnetic resonance (MR), computed tomography (CT) and ultrasound images of the prostate gland for diagnostic and treatment-planning purposes. It can be trained by individual clinicians to accurately and quickly process prostate images, including fast slice-by-slice auto-contouring and volumetric calculations.

The current version of Segasist P-AC is a complete segmentation solution able to adjust the contouring process for prostate delineation in any modality. It can improve the segmentation result by adjusting its contouring techniques using images previously marked by the clinician. That gives the clinical expert the opportunity to use his own markings to train the software, even though the software can also be delivered pre-trained.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted 510 (k) approval to Segasist P-AC in 2011.
