We would be happy to welcome you at the ESTRO Anniversary Congress, taking place at the Excel Centre in London, UK, May 8 – 12, 2011. See you at booth 70!
The Siemens highlights this year: faster delivery with high dose rates and fully linac-integrated kV-like pre-treatment imaging. Please klick on the “Highlights” tab above to find out more.
For more detailed information on ESTRO activities, please visit:
How can you scale down stereotactic treatment to 10-15 minutes? What is the benefit of kv-like in-line pre-treatment imaging? And is there a “one for all” linac for 3D-CRT, IMRT, IGRT, and SRT?
At ESTRO in London, Siemens will provide the answers. Klick on the containers below to get a glimpse.
Save up to 80% delivery time with Multiple-X
The power of high dose rates and flattening-filter-free beams
Multiple-X* is a new feature that enables the ARTISTE linear accelerator to deliver high dose rates of up to 2,000 MU / min, with up to four flattening-filter-free beams, starting at 7 MV. With Multiple-X, hypofractionated treatments can be performed at much higher speed, drastically reducing treatment times for IMRT and SRT.
Experience the power of Multiple-X at the syngo RT Therapist workplace at the Siemens booth!
* The information about Multiple-X is being provided for planning purposes. Multiple-X is pending 510(k) review, and is not yet commercially available in the U.S.
Save up to 60% MUs with In-Line kView imaging
The new standard in Image-Guided Radiation Therapy
With In-Line kView™*, Siemens offers a unique way of pre-treatment imaging: Using the modified treatment beam for imaging, In-Line kView provides kV-like images in 3D with convincing image quality. In-Line kView is fully integrated into the ARTISTE linear accelerator, with an automated workflow saving you time and effort.

All with one linac: ARTISTE
Modular. Flexible. Upgradable.
ARTISTE™ Solution is a modular, flexible, and upgradable linear accelerator solution: You can tailor ARTISTE to your needs – from a stand-alone system, independent from an OIS connection, to a fully connected high-end linac for Adaptive Radiation Therapy (ART). ARTISTE offers a virtually unlimited choice of applications, inlcuding advanced treatments like 3D-CRT, IMRT, IGRT, and SRT.
Meet the ARTISTE family and choose your “all in one” linac – at ESTRO 2011!

Is there a way to improve efficiency throughout radiation oncology – keeping in mind all you tasks, processes, and clinical challenges? Our aim is to create a seamless oncology workflow, bringing together modalities and IT, imaging and therapy.
Visit our workflow area to find out more! If you care for a foretaste, check out the info boxes below.
Image Processing
One workstation for all modalities
Whether CT, MR or PET•CT – the syngo MultiModality Workplace processes images from multiple modalities. Easing your routine and enhancing your clinical workflow. The workplace provides advanced image fusion and segmentation tools for accurate target localization and organ at risk contouring. Dedicated 4D applications offer a real-time view of tumor motion during breathing.
Visit us at ESTRO and see what syngo MMWP can do for your oncology workflow!
Therapy Planning and Replanning
Speed up treatment planning and on-the-spot replanning
Visit our workflow area – and experience syngo® RT Dosimetrist, our dedicated workplace for IMRT planning. It makes segmentation and target definition fast and precise, using advanced algorithms. It supports you with clever applications for virtual simulation, plan management, and dose calculation. What’s more, our solution IM-RealART™ enables on-the-spot replanning, in around seven minutes, while your patient stays on the treatment table.
Quality Assurance
Assure the quality of your multileaf collimator, easily and intuitively
In radiation therapy, your aim is to deliver treatment with the highest possible precision every day. With our quality assurance application, an independent software module for conducting quality tests of Siemens collimators, particularly the 160 MLC, QA becomes an easy thing to do. Our quality assurance application enables reliable and fast results with real-time measurements.
Put us to the test – at ESTRO 2011.
Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT)
Speed up quality with IM-Confident
When it comes to escalated dose delivery and sparing sensitive organs, IMRT has proven to be the method of choice. But what about your daily routine cases? The answer is IM-Confident™ Plan, our solution for everyday IMRT: By creating only delivery segments, it speeds up IMRT planning and reduces treatment time to around 5 minutes. Find out how IM-Confident makes IMRT as fast, easy, and convenient as conformal 3D therapy.
Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT)
High-precision radiotherapy depends on excellent imaging
More than any other treatment modality, radiotherapy relies on medical imaging to enable fast and focused treatment delivery. IGRT introduces imaging into the radiotherapy workflow – for ultimate tumor control. With the ARTISTE linac, Siemens offers an array of imaging options, from Megavoltage Cone Beam (MVCB) imaging and kV-like imaging to in-room CT imaging. The choice is yours: Select the IGRT application that suits your needs best!
Image Review
More efficiency for your review process
At our ESTRO booth, you can get a hands-on experience at syngo® RT Oncologist, our comprehensive workplace for 2D and 3D image review. Electronic approval features and an integrated workflow with Siemens linacs help you speed up your image review and approval process. Moreover, our software solutions ImageGrid™ RT Review* and ImageGrid™ PACS* enable you to approve, reject, or comment with just a few mouse clicks.
