Image-guided therapy firm Brainlab will showcase a new algorithm in its latest cranial radiosurgery software at the American Association of Physicists in Medicine annual meeting (AAPM 2016), to be held July 31 to August 4 in Washington, DC.
The algorithm, called 4Pi, was developed at Dalhousie University in Canada and is designed to support personalized treatment planning in the upcoming release of Brainlab's Elements cranial stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) software.
New cranial radiosurgery software from Brainlab incorporates patient-specific arc trajectories with a new algorithm.Used in trajectory planning, 4Pi is designed to reduce radiation dose to organs at risk without compromising target coverage or treatment times, Brainlab said. 4Pi creates patient-specific arc trajectories by downgrading geometric collisions with key structures and emphasizing steep dose gradients.
The software is pending regulatory clearance and not yet commercially available.
