The current version of RayStation supports all relevant proton treatment techniques such as Uniform Scanning, Double Scattering and PBS/IMPT. It also features unique functionalities like Multi-Criteria Optimization (MCO) for PBS optimization. MCO planning makes it possible to plan in a more interactive and exploratory way where fundamental trade-offs can be made in real time by the dosimetrist and the physician. It can help simplify the planning process while improving the quality of the plans.
About the Texas Center for Proton Therapy
The 63,000 square foot Irving-Las Colinas facility will feature an advanced fixed beam treatment room and two isocentric gantry treatment rooms, each containing a 30-foot tall, 110-ton machine that rotates 360 ° to enable the most accurate positioning of the proton beams on patient tumors. Physicists currently are meticulously calibrating the proton beam equipment, anchored by a 220-ton cyclotron, to submillimeter accuracy, in preparation for treating its first patients later this year.
