The team at Royal Surrey County Hospital, which hopes ultimately to plan all treatments using RapidPlan, has worked together with researchers at the University of Surrey to submit this work for presentation at ESTRO, the foremost European conference on radiotherapy and oncology. Mr Jordan and his team have so far also developed a case model using RapidPlan for treatments of cancer in the cervix.
"RapidPlan is designed to be a knowledge-based learning system and we are delighted to see this exciting new software helping to enhance treatments at Royal Surrey County Hospital," says Corey Zankowski, Varian's vice president of product and portfolio management."RapidPlan is to treatment planning what RapidArc® is to treatment delivery -a tool that makes it easier for clinical professionals to offer advanced forms of radiotherapy with both speed and precision."
