Imaging in Particle Therapy
Discover Dual Energy based SPR determination, in-room CT solutions and tailored imaging technologies for treatment planning
The best possible clinical use of treatments using protons (PT) can only be achieved with an accurate prediction of proton range. Several papers have shown that Dual Energy CT (DECT) can contribute to a reduction in CT-related uncertainties and thus minimize the irradiation of healthy tissue. 聽The new DirectSPR software offers a solution that can be implemented clinically on almost all Single Source and Dual Source CT scanners from Siemens Healthineers.
