Part of a proven foundation
P³IMRT is fully integrated with Pinnacle³ conformal 3D planning and AcQSim³ CT Simulation, allowing IMRT planning to take full advantage of our versatile tool set. With P³IMRT you can: Accurately localize the target using CT, MR, SPECT, CPET or MCD PET images with Pinnacle³’s image fusion feature, Quickly outline target volumes and critical structures with accuracy using advanced contouring tools, Define treatment goals, start inverse planning optimization and see optimized dose distribution and Dose Volume Histogram in minutes, Compute IMRT plans with 3D Convolution Superposition dose accuracy, Validate Plans using specially designed quality assurance tools.
New software modules boost IMRT productivity
Model Based Segmentation (MBS) and Direct Machine Parameter Optimization (DMPO) each contribute to P³IMRT’s improved efficiency. MBS drag and drop organ modeling reduces the time it takes to manually draw contours. The software automatically adapts a pre-defined shape to fit the patient’s organs. Using DMPO, fluency maps are optimized for desired dose distribution and converted to MLC settings in just one mouse click – resulting in plans with fewer segments and monitor units.
Features and Benefits
Multiple beam placement and treatment protocol entry with a single mouse click; Multiple beam placement and treatment protocol entry with a single mouse click; Fast plan optimization using dose and/or dose/volume-based treatment objectives and constraints; Real-time updates of both dose distributions and DVHs during optimization; Stop optimization, reset clinical objectives and restart at any time; Design physical compensators or step-and-shoot MLC segments; Optimize an IMRT cone down plan based on doses already delivered to the patient.
Optimize beam weights; Design segments for Varian, Elekta, Siemens and Mitsubishi MLCs; Transfer MLC information to a number of record and verify systems via DICOM-RT; Save and recall your own QA phantoms; Automatically transfer the beam parameters for an optimized plan to your QA phantom; Output planar dose maps for single beams or all beams in ASCII or binary format for film dosimetry QA; Automatically generate an orthogonal set of DRRs (Digitally Reconstructed Radiographs) for plan isocenter verification.
