The University of Florida Health Proton Therapy Institute selects RayStation

The University of Florida Health ProtonTherapy Institute selects RayStation® to
meet its photon and proton planning needs.
UF Health Proton Therapy Institute is a 98,000 square-foot radiation medical
facility that houses conventional photon radiation therapy in addition to proton
therapy. At full capacity, the facility can treat up to 150 patients per day
with the most advanced technology available to treat and cure cancer. Since
opening in 2006, some 6,000 patients have been treated, many of whom are
pediatric patients from around the world seeking the long-term benefits of
proton therapy. The selection of the RayStation® treatment planning system will
support workflow needs of today and the advanced needs of Pencil Beam Scanning
(PBS), also known as Intensity Modulated Proton Therapy (IMPT).

Dr. Zuofeng Li, Physics Director and Professor at the University of Florida
College of Medicine said, “Our goal when searching for a treatment planning
system for IMPT was to also identify a product that could be utilized for all of
our planning needs. We found RayStation® to have superior planning tools for
IMPT in terms of efficiency and quality of plans, as well as other new
technologies that could help our photon planning teams. We believe features such
as multi-criteria optimization (MCO), fallback planning, deformable registration
and adaptive therapy will all have a significant impact on our daily planning
workflow. All of this, combined with ultrafast calculation speed, made
RayStation® the best choice for us.”

“The advanced technologies found within the RayStation® software are a perfect
match for both the advanced and more traditional planning needs found at the UF
Health Proton Therapy Institute,” says Marc Mlyn, President of RaySearch
Americas, Inc. “RaySearch is committed to offering best-in-class technologies
for all treatment modalities, including the most advanced IMPT. We are proud to
cover the entire spectrum of planning needs at UF Health Proton Therapy
Institute and welcome this new partnership.”

Johan Löf, CEO of RaySearch Laboratories AB comments, “We are very pleased to
count UF Health Proton Therapy Institute as the 18th proton center to treat
patients with RayStation®. It will be very interesting to observe the impact of
RayStation® on the organization’s planning workflow, since it includes both
conventional and advanced treatment techniques. We are looking forward to
advancing cancer treatment together based on our unique and state-of-the-art
technologies.”
