Advanced visualization software developer Actuality Systems of Bedford, MA, will tout its new PerspectaRad software for radiation oncology treatment planning at this month's RSNA show.

2006 11 07 15 33 43 706PerspectaRad integrates with the Pinnacle3 treatment-planning system from Philips Medical Systems of Andover, MA. It enables the creation and review of radiation oncology treatment plans, particularly for 4D and noncoplanar treatment, according to the company.

Key features include Perspecta Display, in which hologram-like "floating" displays of CT scans are overlaid with multiple energy-beam trajectories, and 3D projection of anatomical distances with a virtual ruler. The software also supports dose/region-of-interest coverage simulation data.

PerspectaRad is currently in clinical trials and will be shown as a work-in-progress.

How best to characterize CT lung findings after radiation therapy

Acute radiation-induced pneumonitis after SBRT (65 Gy, four fractions) in a 53-year-old woman with leiomyosarcoma of the uterus with a left lower lobe metastasis manifesting as a small nodule (not shown). (A) Axial dosimetric reconstruction of a CT image obtained for SBRT planning shows the metastasis receiving the maximal isodose (6500 cGy). (B) Axial CT image obtained 12 months after completion of RT shows focal ground-glass and consolidative opacities confined to the treatment plan (arrow). Note that acute lung injury with SBRT typically manifests later than with conventional RT (i.e., >12 weeks after completion of therapy), and in 25% of patients, the first CT manifestations occur more than one year after completion of RT.
