IM-Confident Plan - Clinical Application
Making a difference in treatment speed and precision
In radiation therapy, you require high treatment precision for both complex and routine cases, while maintaining a fast and efficient workflow. Siemens’ IM-Confident™ Plan allows you to perform IMRT every day, for every case and every cancer site, providing an overall workflow of around 15 minutes. Click on the boxes below to find out how.
Intelligent IMRT planning
Every step of the planning process focuses on treatment time optimization without compromising quality. Using Direct Aperture Optimization (DAO*) or Direct Machine Parameter Optimization (DMPO**), IM-Confident Plan helps reduce the number of segments / apertures and MUs by up to 50 percent, significantly speeding up delivery.
- Creating only deliverable segments
- No need for ex-post leaf sequencing
- No fluence degradation
Patient quality assurance
The intelligent planning process of IM-Confident Plan results in efficient patient quality assurance. As treatment delivery is performed with the step-and-shoot method, you can rely on well-known routines for QA. There is no need for additional QA as it would be for dynamic delivery methods.
- Proven step-and-shoot method
- No additional QA as for dynamic methods
- Easy-to-verify procedure
Fast IMRT treatment
IM-Confident Plan with the ARTISTE™ Solution or with ONCOR and the 160 MLC saves up to 50% of treatment time, compared to conventional IMRT delivery and makes IMRT as fast, easy, and convenient as conformal 3D therapy. Fast IMRT delivery in 5 minutes or less for complex and routine cases.

- Leaf positioning speed up to 4 cm/s
- Sparing healthy surrounding tissue
A comparison with conventional IMRT
IMRT with IM-Confident Plan needs less segments and MUs as conventional IMRT. This results in drastically reduced treatments and shorter patient-on-table time, which makes IMRT a less stressful procedure for your patients. Due to the shorter treatment time, your institution benefits from a higher patient throughput.
- Less segments and MUs, faster treatment
- Better patient experience
- Higher throughput and efficiency
