2016: Announcement
On September 27, 2016 the Siemens Healthineers company provided the computer Somatom Confidence RT Pro tomograph developed especially for radiation therapy. The producer pays attention to such advantages of the new equipment as effective calculation of a dose of radiation of patients and advanced methods of treatment of mobile tumors. Innovation was presented at an annual meeting of the American society of beam oncology (American Society for Radiation Oncology) in Boston.
Siemens Healthineers notes that Somatom Confidence RT Pro became one of the first KT-devices created at once for two specialties in the field of radiation therapy: oncologists-radiologists and specialists in the field of radiation protection.
The equipment uses the new algorithm DirectDensity allowing to create the personalized medical images according to which it is possible to estimate optimum circuits of tumors and the bodies which are in a zone of risk.
The tomograph is supplied with a new software version of syngo.via RT Image Suite. It helps specialists in radiation therapy of oncological diseases to cope with a difficult task — to optimum use clinical images from different sources, for example KT, MRT or PET/KT, for determination of circuits of new growths which need to be irradiated and adjacent fabrics which should be saved.
Somatom Confidence RT Pro is capable to conduct exact examinations of patients with implants (for example, with artificial coxofemoral joints). On the normal computer tomograph implants create noises (the so-called erased pictures) that considerably limits a possibility of exact planning of radiation. The special technology in Somatom Confidence RT Pro eliminates these noises: fabrics around a coxofemoral prosthesis become visible and the doctor, for example, at radiation of a prostate, receives the exact picture of the irradiated zone, says Siemens Healthineers.[1]
