Product catalog summary
Overview
iPlan® Monte Carlo is a high-performance dose calculation algorithm designed for precise treatment in stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). It offers unmatched speed and accuracy, enabling broader treatment possibilities for extracranial indications, particularly in lung and head & neck regions.
Key Features
  • Speed and Integration: Performs dose calculations within seconds for conformal beam and dynamic arc treatments, and within minutes for complex IMRT cases. Seamlessly integrates with all major linear accelerators and multi-leaf collimator (MLC) types.
  • Advanced Calculation: Utilizes the XVMC algorithm, verified by EGSnrc and BEAMnrc, to account for Linac head geometry, secondary electron dose effects, and tissue inhomogeneities.
  • Customizable and Comprehensive: Adapts to specific Linac and MLC configurations and integrates with iPlan RT Image and automatic contouring tools for enhanced planning efficiency.
Clinical Impact
  • Precision: Improves dose plan accuracy, especially for extracranial indications, allowing precise definition of tissue borders for optimized dosage planning.
  • Expert Endorsements: Praised by clinical experts for its ability to tackle challenging radiosurgery cases and improve treatment delivery precision.
Comparative Analysis
Comparison of iPlan Monte Carlo with Pencil Beam shows superior dose correction capabilities for small lung tumors, highlighting its effectiveness in complex treatment scenarios.
