New 4D tools have been added to the Philips-exclusive Tumor LOC application, allowing the user to assess motion of respiratory correlated studies. The ability to review patients' breathing patterns and easily draw contours encompassing the range of motion over the entire respiratory cycle simplifies this complex procedure. Advanced 4D tools such as dynamic digitally reconstructed radiographs (DRR) and digitally composited radiographs (DCR) allow visualization of respiratory motion from a beam's eye view perspective.
The interconnected Brilliance Workspace allows users to easily evaluate multi-phasic volumetric datasets. With new evaluation tools such as intensity projections over time, dynamic slab viewing and user-defined phase selections, novel treatment options are now possible. These new views assist physicians in determining where a tumor has moved over time, giving them flexibility in choosing treatment-planning options.

Philips new Brilliance CT Big Bore delivers clinical insight through tighterintegration with the LAP laser system. Direct connection between the scanner and the laser system reduces the chance of error and makes the absolute marking procedure more automated and easier to use than ever before. In addition, the Brilliance CT Big Bore includes, as standard, a couch and therapy tabletop that meets requirements of the AAPM Task Group 66.
Extended display field of view is another new enhancement debuting at the AAPM meeting. Provided at the request of clinicians, extended display field of view allows users to visualize outside the standard true 60cm SFOV to help avoid untargeted areas during treatment planning.
