Problem
Existing radiotherapy and radiosurgery treatment planning systems often require lengthy computation times and extensive manual adjustments, potentially leading to suboptimal dosimetric profiles and increased treatment times. This can strain resources, increase costs, and prolong the overall treatment process for patients.
Solution
IntuitivePlan is an inverse treatment planning software designed to optimize radiotherapy and radiosurgery plans in real time using a full convex optimization algorithm. The software rapidly calculates optimal treatment plans, allowing clinicians to interactively modify constraints and visualize dose distributions. This approach aims to enhance treatment accuracy, improve user-friendliness, and increase productivity, ultimately leading to better patient safety and more efficient workflows.
Target Audience
The primary users are clinicians, hospitals, and clinics involved in radiotherapy and radiosurgery, specifically those seeking to reduce planning times, improve dosimetric profiles, and enhance the efficiency of their treatment planning processes.
