GE Healthcare Collaborates with RaySearch to Improve Radiation Oncology Treatment Planning
Summary
[1] More than 60% of cancer patients undergo radiation therapy[2], according to the US National Institutes of Health[3], which requires high quality imaging to precisely target tumors while sparing healthy tissue. A key issue for oncologists can be the cumbersome simulation process and the need to navigate multiple systems and workflows manually. The aim of the collaboration is to simplify this process by enabling point of care decision making in the simulation room. Clinicians tell us that navigating through multiple systems to get a clear picture of where cancer cells are is one of their biggest pain points. “Software has tremendous potential, and it is now the driving force for innovation in oncology“ said Johan Löf, founder and CEO, RaySearch Laboratories.
