Radiation therapy firm RaySearch Laboratories has received an order for its RayStation treatment planning system from the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) in Heidelberg.
DKFZ is the largest biomedical research institute in Germany, and the deal represents RaySearch's first RayStation sale in Germany.
The order also includes the purchase of advanced software tools enabling a more efficient treatment planning process, such as multicriteria optimization, which allows clinicians to evaluate the impact of changing different treatment priorities in real-time.
DKFZ will use RayStation as its treatment planning system for conventional 3D conformal radiotherapy (CRT) treatments, as well as for intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT).
