Recently, the innovative product radiotherapy planning software of Shanghai United Imaging Healthcare Co. Ltd. is approved by China NMPA.

This product is used to plan external radiotherapy treatments with photon and electron beams. Its core technology mainly includes automatic beam arrangement and automatic plan optimization algorithm. The former automatically designs the beam gantry angle and the collimator angle according to the information such as patient setup, target location and projection shapes etc. The latter automatically adjusts plan optimization objectives based on preset protocols, so that the quality of the final plan meets the prescription requirements. Compared to existing radiotherapy planning systems, it can minimize manual operation steps, alleviate user workload, and reduce dependence on user experience.

The NMPA will strengthen the post-marketing surveillance of the product to protect the safety of medical devices used by patients.
