In side-by-side comparisons of Oncentra and two other popular rotational therapy planning systems, using identical plan and patient data, Oncentra delivered faster calculations for rotational therapy. Much, much faster.
Can Oncentra VMAT really save me time? In October 2009, a VMAT performance study was conducted at the Clatterbridge Center for Oncology (CCO) in the United Kingdom. Using identical plans and patient data, three leading treatment planning systems, including Oncentra, tested a 50-slice prostate plan, a 49-slice plan for prostate and nodes, and a 76-slice nasopharynx plan. Because Oncentra’s dose calculations were up to 300% faster than the other systems, Oncentra VMAT was able to deliver significant time savings for clinicians. Every time.
What else should I know about Oncentra VMAT? Oncentra VMAT is the independent solution for rotational therapy planning. With Oncentra VMAT, you can create plans for any brand of linac capable of delivering volumetric modulated arc therapy treatments. Because Oncentra is DICOM compliant, it connects with all your treatment delivery systems. It no longer matters whether your linac comes from Varian or Elekta or another hardware vendor. With Oncentra VMAT, you can create single- or multiple-arc plans. Within one planning environment, you can easily compare arc plans to standard IMRT plans—as well as to other radiation treatment modalities such as proton therapy and brachytherapy—to evaluate and choose the best treatment option for your patients. Oncentra VMAT is part of the Oncentra Dynamic Planning Environment, an open, modular system that supports multiple treatment modalities. With Oncentra components, your planning system can grow with you, whether you’re treating patients with external beam, brachytherapy, or both. Whether you need to add a new tool for arc therapy tomorrow, or you want to build a complete treatment planning environment over time. Oncentra gives you the freedom to choose what’s best for your patients—and your practice—without sacrificing capability, convenience, or safety.
