Several products in the development pipeline which have been submitted to the FDA for review will also be on display, including:
* Higher dose delivery rates on the company's Trilogy and Clinac® iX machines, for delivering high dose treatments more quickly to shorten treatment times and increase clinical efficiency.
* New contouring tools that expedite treatment planning by using "smart" software to automatically identify and outline organs and other structures within diagnostic images and that enable clinicians to draw on a library of pre-contoured images by expert radiation oncologists and use these as a starting point for creating new treatment plans.
