BOSTON/PRNewswire/ -- At the 54th Annual Meeting of the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO, Boston, Mass.), Elekta announced that MOSAIQ® Oncology Information System (OIS) v 2.50 now includes connectivity with Nucletron's microSelectron® Digital afterloader. This added connectivity allows the treatment record and chart information, in addition to dose and structure sets, to be part ofthe complete patient record - saving time, simplifying workflow and creating a paperless flow of brachytherapy practice information.
MOSAIQ-microSelectron Digital connectivity is the latest in Elekta's long history of providing interfaces with virtually any radiotherapy delivery device or treatment planning system. MOSAIQ now integrates with Accuray CyberKnife system.
Recently, St. Anthony Hospital (Oklahoma City, Okla.) became the first center to use a MOSAIQ interface for its Accuray® CyberKnife® radiosurgery system. A MOSAIQ user for several years, St. Anthony officials had discussed the possibility of a MOSAIQ interface for CyberKnife with Accuray representatives.

"We are always trying to pursue opportunities to improve the communication capabilities of our interfaces," says Chad Crane, BSRT(T), St. Anthony Supervisor, Radiation Oncology. "Since MOSAIQ is our primary department EMR, to have that functionality added to it was something we wanted to participate in."
According to St. Anthony Lead Physicist, Cindy Parry, M.S., the MOSAIQ-CyberKnife interface presented an opportunity to streamline their
radiosurgery process and to consolidate all patient information in a single location.
"To me, the greatest value is that the treatment is directly transferred to MOSAIQ through the interface," she adds. "In this way, the physician
seeing a patient for follow up can readily note that a CyberKnife patient got his fractions done in x amount of time, or can see if this patient
also had an HDR or linac treatment - all that information will be in the patient record for him to see at once."
Mevion proton delivery added to MOSAIQ connectivity portfolio Elekta also reported in October that MOSAIQ now includes interconnectivity with Mevion Medical Systems' MEVION S250 proton therapy system.
"The integration of the MEVION S250 with MOSAIQ is another important step toward making proton therapy accessible to more patients," says Lionel G. Bouchet, Ph.D., Senior Director Product Management, Mevion Medical Systems.
