Targeting Outcomes for Radiation Therapy – New Opportunities with State-of-the-Art Imaging
Today, imaging is firmly established in the practice of modern radiotherapy. Indeed, imaging assists in planning and decision making and acts as a key enabler to confirm the quality of treatment for many patients.
Join our ART Forum on “Targeting Outcomes for Radiation Therapy – New Opportunities with State-of-the-Art Imaging”, and learn how you can multiply chances by bringing imaging and radiotherapy closer together. We have invited leading researchers to share their experience with three novel clinical imaging technologies and decision making tools. A common theme throughout the symposium is the attempt to unveil deeper insights into the biological characteristics of cancer for each patient.

Enter a Siemens world of imaging and therapy
ASTRO 2011, Miami Beach
Treating cancer effectively, saving precious time, and sparing healthy surrounding tissue – these are some of the major challenges in radiotherapy. Only when imaging and therapy go hand-in-hand, you can multiply chances for your patients.
Experience Siemens’ portfolio for radiation oncology – live at our booth. Discover solutions for every step of your workflow, from diagnostics to follow-up.
Multiple-X – enables hypofractioned treatments at faster speed
The power of high dose rate
Multiple-X™ is a new, optional feature with our ARTISTE™ Solution linear accelerator family. With up to four flattening-filter-free beams, it enables high dose rates of up to 2,000 MU / min – starting at 7 MV. With Multiple-X, hypofractionated treatments can be performed faster. This reduces treatment times for IMRT and SRT.
Learn at our booth how you can multiply chances with the power of Multiple-X!
In-Line kView Imaging – the on-board imaging solution for ARTISTE
The new standard in Image-Guided Radiation Therapy
With In-Line kView™ Imaging, Siemens offers a completely new way of pre-treatment imaging: Using an optimized beam, In-Line kView provides kV-like 3D images with convincing image quality. In-Line kView is fully integrated into the ARTISTE linear accelerator, and its automated workflow simply saves you time and effort.
Experience how the soft-tissue contrast of In-Line kView helps you multiply chances!
CTVision System – the diagnostic in-room imaging solution
Diagnostic image quality at low dose, in the treatment room
Our CTVision™ System is a unique in-room imaging solution that lets you adapt treatment to daily anatomical changes. Positioning the SOMATOM® Definition AS Open CT with a PRIMUS™, ONCOR™ or ARTISTE linac, CTVision introduces the diagnostic image quality you rely on for treatment planning into your treatment room. Finally, CTVision and IM-RealART™ Solution help to enable you to replan on the spot in around nine minutes.
Discover at our booth how you can multiply chances with CTVision, the gold standard in IGRT!
SOMATOM Definition AS Open – the dedicated CT for radiotherapy
Maximize precision. Minimize dose.
SOMATOM Definition AS Open is a dedicated high-end CT system that efficiently covers both radiology and radiation therapy needs. Providing state-of-the-art CT technology, low dose, and excellent image quality, it lets you see even very small details. Its high-speed acquisition helps preventing motion artifacts. The SOMATOM Definition AS Open features the advanced gating options you need.
Find out how our dedicated radiotherapy CT helps you multiply chances in radiation oncology!
Biograph mMR – the first and only simultaneous MR-PET
The Biograph mMR is the first and only integrated whole-body MR-PET scanner allowing simultaneous acquisition of MRI and PET.
In radiotherapy, this technology is seen as a very powerful tool for sound decisions in planning, as well as for monitoring and follow up.
Come and find out how this Siemens unique innovation can multiply chances in diagnosis, planning, and monitoring!
Biograph mCT – affordable PET•CT performance for radiotherapy
With its wide bore, full PET and CT respiratory gating, its automatic GTV contouring, the Biograph mCT 20 Excel provides the functionalities that you want when providing care to your patients. In addition, the 5 minute PET scan capabilities of the Biograph mCT enables the unit to work like 2 separate systems. The combination of 2 rooms into 1 integrated suite provides tremendous benefits by reducing costs – making the Biograh mCT an affordable PET•CT solution for Radiation Therapy.
