Advanced Applications Power

GE Healthcare gives you access to a comprehensive range of advanced clinical applications with the potential to revolutionize treatment planning in your facility. The result of years of collaboration with radiotherapy centers around the world, these applications use the latest GE technologies to help you increase productivity, simplify workflow, and enhance the accuracy of your treatment plan definition.

  • A breath-taking solution to tumor motion
  • Real-time view of a moving target
  • Advantage CT/MR Fusion
  • Advantage CT/PET Fusion
  • Auto-Segmentation
  • AW Remote Access

Consider the productivity and precision advantages inherent in these applications, for example:

  • Multi-modality display. All of the registered multi-modality images for a patient can be displayed simultaneously in real time to enable easier localisation and precise delineation of subtle targets.
  • Organ specific segmentation algorithms and 3D interpolation. These tools enable you to benefit fully from multislice CT by reducing the contouring time required even when working on studies comprising a large number of submilimetric slices.


A breath-taking solution to tumor motion

Tumors affected by respiratory motion, such as lung and breast lesions, are particularly challenging in radiotherapy planning. Their movement makes it difficult to design a treatment plan that will deliver a uniform dose to the target tissue while preserving the surrounding normal tissues.

Now there is a way to assess the impact of respiratory-induced tumor motion and create a 3D treatment volume that will more precisely irradiate the target of interest while sparing healthy tissue.


Real-time view of a moving target

Real-time view of a moving target

AdvantageSim MD provides the first multi-planar motion management software for radiotherapy planning. Used in conjunction with Advantage™ 4D, you can capture the full range of motion of critical internal structures and lesions during respiration, leading to a more accurate description of the target and its trajectory. With this powerful combination, it’s a quick process to visualize the tumor excursion and develop a more precise plan for either gated or ungated treatment.


Advantage CT/MR Fusion

Advantage CT/MR Fusion

CT/MR Fusion is a a unique fast automatic 3D registration and fusion software program for CT/MR (T1 and T2 SPGR 3D) images, designed for radiation oncology and neurodiagnosis.


Advantage CT/PET Fusion

Advantage CT/PET Fusion

Provides automatic registration of any CT data set with any Discovery PET/CT or Advanced PET images. In combining anatomical information from CT with functional information from PET or PET/CT, this application allows for example to delineate Biological Target Volume for treatment planning.


Auto-Segmentation

Auto-Segmentation

Imagine contouring a lung or a kidney in less than five seconds. Auto-segmentation is a Sim MD optional feature allowing automatic delineation of critical organs and structures in 3D at the touch of a button. It improves the speed and accuracy of organ segmentation, for conventional treatment methods as well as newer 4D techniques.


AW Remote Access

AW Remote Access

With AW RemoteAccess™, you have on-demand access to the functionality of AdvantageSim MD, including 4D and Fusion, from virtually any location or networked PC.
