The Eclipse treatment planning system is a comprehensive solution designed to simplify modern radiation therapy planning for all kinds of treatment, including 3D conformal, intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT), RapidArc volumetric modulated arc, electron, proton and brachytherapy treatments.

MIMvista will showcase its MIMcontouring Advanced at ASTRO 2008. MIMcontouring Advanced aims to optimize RTP workflow with automatic deformable contouring, using the VoxAlign Deformation Engine, allowing for Atlas-based segmentation and re-contouring for Adaptive Therapy and gated studies.

Elekta's eXtend program is a complete system for extending the utilization of Leksell Gamma Knife Perfexion.

Elekta will highlight its Infinity, a linear accelerator system that is optimized to deliver volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT).

The system combines Elekta’s X-ray volume imaging (XVI) technology with its third generation digital control system and a new low leakage multi-leaf collimator (MLC).

The Infinity can deliver VMAT treatments in a single rotation of a gantry, or with multiple gantry arcs.

MiniCAT, a CT system developed by Xoran Technologies, captures images at a dose nearly 10 to 12 times lower than conventional CT scanners, according to a recent study at the Mayo Clinic.

The system is specifically designed for head and neck imaging tasks that are critically dependent on spatial resolution, is generally found in the offices of Ear, Nose and Throat physicians and Allergists.

July 30, 2008 - The American College of Radiology (ACR) announced today it will complete the process to become a deemed accrediting body for the Medicare program and work with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to provide the accreditation services that the new law requires.

July 30, 2008 – BrachySciences will distribute the AnchorSeed for prostate brachytherapy now with a second isotope, TheraSeed palladium-103, offering physicians the option of utilizing AnchorSeed with the two most commonly used isotopes for prostate brachytherapy, iodine-125 and palladium-103.

July 30, 2008 - ImaCor today said it received FDA 510(k) clearance to market the ClariTEE miniaturized transesophageal echocardiography probe and the Zura ultrasound imaging system.

The ClariTEE probe facilitates episodic monitoring of cardiac function. It is a single use device that can remain indwelling for up to 72 hours, allowing intensivists and anesthesiologists to periodically assess cardiac preload and left ventricular systolic function over a prolonged period of time.

July 30, 2008 - Researchers at the Ohio State University Medical Center have designed equipment to provide high resolution images of the heart at peak stress level - a critical stage of testing - that have previously been difficult to obtain using standard testing procedures.

Now superior images of the heart are obtained with a test lasting less than one hour.

The MIM PACS has responded to the need for an affordable storage solution to handle expanding imaging data in radiation oncology from IGRT, gated studies and secondary modalities including PET and MR. MIM Storage Server allows for storage of RT specific formats including RT dose, plan and structs.
