The Next Generation in Brachytherapy

Ever since introducing fusion and contouring tools for radiation oncology, MIM Software Inc. has been approached by brachytherapists interested in taking their practice to the next level. Long restricted by the decade-old tools available on the market, these experts from around the world saw the potential in MIM® to unleash the power of imaging in brachytherapy planning. MIM is a proven world leader in imaging software. With products ranging from diagnosis to treatment planning, MIM allows medical professionals in multiple disciplines to easily and accurately integrate advanced imaging into their...

MIM Symphony includes contouring and planning tools which can make any workflow more efficient. In the OR, speed – without sacrificing quality – is paramount. MIM Symphony was built with this in mind. MIM’s guided intra-op planning workflow was built to minimize the number of clicks required to get you through each step. Each tool has been carefully designed to chip away at the time required for every task. From template alignment to contouring to plan construction, MIM Symphony has been specifically designed to optimize your efficiency. Whether you plan pre-operatively or in the OR, MIM’s flexibility...

Enhanced Visualization MR has long been the holy grail of prostate imaging. With its superior soft-tissue contrast and stunning resolution, contouring the prostate and surrounding anatomy is much more accurate than in other modalities. With advances such as diffusion-weighted imaging and dynamic contrast-enhanced imaging, multi-parametric MR imaging is making the picture even clearer. And MR is flexible; is the axial plane unclear? Sagittal and coronal MR imaging will settle the debate. With coronal MR, contouring the apex of the prostate is a breeze – no worries about whether that is the external...

Accurate MR/US Fusion Until now, fusing MR with ultrasound has not been practical. Quite simply, the lack of software tools for solving the differences in patient positioning has kept centers from incorporating MR into the permanent seed treatment planning process. Whether you will use it to enable pre-planning (with or without ultrasound) or for intra-operative MR/US fusion, ReSlicer is the next-generation software tool that’s bringing a new dimension to brachytherapy treatment planning. No special equipment or significant changes to your current workflow are required. This is the most exciting...

PinPoint QA Given the lack of sophisticated imaging tools previously available for permanent seed implant brachytherapy, there’s little wonder why so few centers are using MR for postimplant QA. AAPM TG-137 recommends the use of both MR and CT for post-implant dosimetry. But prior to the release of MIM’s PinPoint QATM, accurate fusion of postimplant MR with CT was a difficult challenge. One problem with CT-only QA is that the prostate is indiscernible from surrounding tissue. About the only things you can see clearly in and around the prostate are the seeds. This inherent bias has made it difficult...

Focal Therapy Beyond Prostate Implants Advancements in imaging combined with earlier detection are introducing an era of focal therapy and dose painting of suspicious areas within the prostate. When used as a part of combination therapy for higher risk patients, MIM Symphony can sum brachytherapy doses with external beam delivery after converting both to biological effective dose. Whether you perform the implant first or second, the second treatment can be used to paint in cold spots from the first. Whether it’s multiparametric MR imaging or functional imaging such as MR spectroscopy or ProstaScint...
