13 out of 18 RayStation proton sites in clinical operation are now using the proton Monte Carlo (MC) dose engine, and this just a year after it was released.

Key Points: 
  • 13 out of 18 RayStation proton sites in clinical operation are now using the proton Monte Carlo (MC) dose engine, and this just a year after it was released.
  • "The implementation of the RayStation Monte Carlo dose engine has expanded our capability to serve more and a wider range of patients", says Chang Chang, Director of Physics, Texas Center for Proton Therapy.
  • One year after RaySearch's first release of the proton MC dose engine in RayStation 6, a survey was sent out to the 18 RayStation proton sites that are in clinical operation with pencil beam scanning.
  • Chang Chang, Director of Physics, Texas Center for Proton Therapy says: "The implementation of the RayStation Monte Carlo dose engine has expanded our capability to serve more and a wider range of patients.
