Accuray ASTRO 2021 Highlights: Unique Advances in Software and Imaging Solutions

  • VOLO Ultra*: VOLO Ultra is the latest evolution of our planning solution, the Accuray Precision Treatment Planning System. It helps accelerate Radixact and TomoTherapy® treatments so clinicians can treat more patients each day. It includes a state-of-the-art optimizer with a modern and fast gradient-based algorithm, designed to provide optimal plan quality for every treatment.
  • ClearRT helical fan-beam kVCT imaging**: ClearRT is a one-of-a-kind imaging solution integrated with the Radixact System – a true workhorse system – to produce exceptional diagnostic-like quality CT images, quickly and cost-effectively. ClearRT offers the widest and longest field of view enabling clinicians to see more, know more and do more, and providing a new level of precision and accuracy in the treatment of almost any indication that would benefit from radiotherapy, from the simplest to the most complex.
  • RayStation*** for the CyberKnife**** robotic radiosurgery platform: RayStation treatment planning support for the robotic CyberKnife M6™ and S7™ Systems will help enable clinicians to create treatment plans for these advanced systems and other conventional radiotherapy devices using the same software solution. RayStation will make it easier to seamlessly integrate the CyberKnife System within a radiation oncology department, increasing access to the only device capable of delivering sub-millimetric stereotactic treatments anywhere in the body with speed, efficiency and accuracy – all without the need for human intervention.
