The virtual simulation option is a fully integrated with the syngo RT Dosimetrist workspace, providing:

• Fast processing of high-resolution images
• Innovative filming tools
• DICOM-RT compliance
• Localization and segmentation tools
• Reference Point Management
• Simulation tools
• syngo, an easy to use interface common to all Siemens imaging modalities

An integral part of the virtual simulation application is the Siemens SOMATOM® family of CT scanners. Together, the SOMATOM CT scanner and the syngo RT Dosimetrist workspace provide a best-in-class CT virtual simulation solution.

Siemens offers a complete range of solutions for different workflow needs, including these advantages:

• Thin slice capability of 1 mm or less
• Flat table inserts and commercial laser marking systems for complete CT Simulation solutions
• Low table deflection with a CT table dedicated for Radiation Therapy
• Slim CT gantry of the SOMATOM family for increased patient comfort and easier positioning

syngo RT Dosimetrist provides you with the tools and data you need to perform the clinical tasks of virtual simulation when needed, where needed.

syngo RT Dosimetrist provides advanced image fusion tools for precise tumor localization. Those tools support 3D modalities, including MR, CT, and PET.

Furthermore, manual and threshold-based contouring tools for target delineation are available. These tools enable definition of the target structure and organs at risk accurately and quickly:

• Suite of automatic/manual contour and edit tools
• Orthogonal and oblique MPRs, with real-time display of structures
• Generated structures viewable in interactive 3D
• 3D margin editor
• Interactive navigation through 3D volume
• Manual and automatic image registration
• Multimodality and fusion of two series of a 4DCT dataset

The Reference Point Module supports single as well as multiple isocenters. It also exports the coordinates seamlessly to selected movable laser systems and block-cutting devices. This simplifies the entire patient marking process.

In the simulation module, radiation beams and linear accelerator parameters are generated and high-quality Digitally Reconstructed Radiographs (DRRs), MultiPlanar Reconstructions (MPRs), Maximum Intensity Projections (MIPs), and surface-shaded displays are produced.

This includes:

• DRR Configurator for quick generation of high-resolution DRRs
• Near real time DDRs for isocenter placement
• Fluoroscopy supported by MPR views with structures

The syngo RT Dosimetrist workspace can also include an advanced inverse planning solution** that is accurate, flexible, and easy to use.

The inverse planning system provides:

• Multi-kernel pencil beam algorithm for fast and exact dose calculation
• Fast verification of plans
• Integration of customer specific phantoms
• Addition of dose (boost plans)
• Consideration of exposure due to pre-radiation

The inverse planning module in the syngo RT Dosimetrist workspace is outstanding for its efficiency and interactivity.
