Japanese postprocessing firm TeraRecon demonstrated work-in-progress treatment planning software at the ASTRO meeting Nov. 4 to 8. The software, which runs on TeraRecon’s Aquarius workstation, supports treatment planning, dose calculation, and dose optimization. It features real-time 3-D volume rendering, using the company’s VolumePro technology, as well as such advanced features as interactive image fusion, auto contouring, beam and block entry, dose calculation, and segmented image reconstruction with isodose display. The system can also digitally reconstruct radiographs and generate dose-volume histograms for 3-D structures. An intravascular brachytherapy module provides extended radial and anisotropic dose functions.
Could Virtual Non-Contrast Images from Photon-Counting CT Reduce Radiation Dosing with CCTA?
March 28th 2024Emerging research on coronary artery calcium scoring for the assessment of coronary artery disease (CAD) suggests the use of virtual non-contrast images from photon-counting CT may lead to a nearly 20 percent reduction in radiation dosing.
FDA Clears CT-Based AI Tools for PE Detection and Stroke Severity Assessment
March 26th 2024The artificial intelligence (AI) modalities CINA-iPE and CINA-ASPECTS may facilitate improved detection of incidental pulmonary embolism and stroke evaluation, respectively, based on computed tomography (CT) scans.
