Nucletron Receives 510(k) Clearance for Oncentra RT Viewer

November 20, 2008 - Nucletron, a knowledge-based leader in radiation oncology, has received 510(k) clearance from the FDA on Oncentra RT Viewer, its latest innovation in the Oncentra family of treatment planning solutions.

FDA clearance now allows Nucletron to provide Oncentra RT Viewer to its U.S. customers, enabling clinicians to review radiotherapy plans generated with a wide variety of DICOM-compliant treatment planning systems in a Windows (PC) environment.

Oncentra RT Viewer makes it possible to review and share treatment planning data such as DICOM RT images, RT structure sets, and RT plans including RT dose on any computer, making it an optimal tool for clinical consulting and peer-to-peer reviewing. Oncentra RT Viewer is a technologically advanced alternative to hardcopy paper information for reviewing and sharing treatment planning data, and utilizes the hospital network for sharing plans digitally, as well as on any other electronic sharing device.
