Opt for automation to support spinal cord sparing
This fully automated workflow is optimized for the treatment of spinal metastases and produces very steep dose falloff between the target and the spinal cord. The workflow ensures enhanced spinal cord sparing and offers automatic contouring in-line with the International Spine Consortium Guidelines.
Preparing for spine metastases planning
We’ve built automation into every step of the pre-planning workflow including anatomical mapping, curvature correction and target definition. Save time with fast and easy-to-use tools, add consistency and gain confidence from the submillimetric accuracy you’ll achieve along the way.
Compensating for spine curvature variations
Variations in the position of the patient in different scans can prevent accurate image fusion. The unique algorithm of Elements Spine Curvature Correction combines information from Brainlab anatomical atlas to account for rigidity and deformability of different tissue types which is then used to highlight and correct deviations in spinal curvatures.
Accurately segmenting spinal anatomy
Curvature corrected, fused images are essential to establishing a solid foundation for segmentation. Automatic segmentation of spinal anatomy with Elements Anatomical Mapping uses our patented synthetic tissue model to identify and label the individual levels of the spine. This software fundamentally streamlines extracranial treatment planning and serves standardization.
