SUNNYVALE, Calif., Oct. 26, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Accuray Incorporated (NASDAQ: ARAY) announced today that the CyberKnife® System with the new Accuray Precision™ Treatment Planning System (TPS) enables clinicians to reduce treatment times, while advanced TPS features enhance workflow efficiencies. Clinicians representing hospitals from around the world have reported a reduction in treatment planning time up to 40% compared to MultiPlan® Treatment Planning System (TPS), the current CyberKnife TPS.
The Accuray Precision TPS is a powerful, full-featured treatment planning system fully integrated with the CyberKnife System, enabling clinicians to efficiently generate high quality radiation therapy treatment plans for all stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) cases. With the new TPS, treatment planning is faster and easier to perform, without sacrificing the precision and accuracy in radiation dose delivery clinicians have come to expect.
Early adopters of the CyberKnife software upgrade and Accuray Precision TPS successfully validated a variety of product features which streamline clinicians' workflow and improve operational efficiency:

Faster treatment and improved ease of use
Simplified workflows, automated contouring and plan automation tools support highly efficient plan generation for even the most complex clinical cases
Customers noted:
"Speed improvements are noticeable"
"The planning process is more streamlined"
"Summation and plan comparison in Precision is quicker and easier than before –– everything is faster"
A 60% decrease in time to perform several key functions of the treatment planning process, such as dose calculations, compared to the legacy MultiPlan planning system, was experienced by one customer
Enhanced precision and improved treatment times
The Accuray Precision TPS introduces Monte Carlo dose calculation for the CyberKnife System with InCise™ Multileaf Collimator (MLC), enabling clinicians to more accurately calculate dose for tumors located in tissues with varying densities including the lung, abdomen and near the sinuses
An additional benefit is the reduction in treatment times resulting from the use of Monte Carlo with the InCise MLC
A 33% reduction in treatment time with the MLC versus a fixed collimator was noted by one customer
More accurate planning for retreatments
Approximately 25 percent of patients will require retreatment with radiation therapy*
The PreciseRTX™ Retreatment software, available with the Accuray Precision™ TPS, makes retreatment planning more precise and efficient in those cases where, unfortunately, cancer has recurred and re-irradiation is necessary
