CASE STUDY / CLEARCALC

Optimizing MR Linac Secondary Calculation
Workflows at St. George’s Hospital

 

St. George's Hospital in Christchurch, New Zealand, faced the challenge of finding a secondary calculation solution tailored to the unique demands of MR-guided planning. By partnering with Radformation to implement ClearCalc, the hospital successfully integrated a secondary calculation tool that delivers speed and reliability, ensuring clinical confidence while the patient remains on the treatment couch.

What you’ll learn in this case study:

  • How ClearCalc’s speed supports time-sensitive replanning and evaluation

  • Details on the development of a cryostat correction that uses user-measured input to account for output changes based on gantry angle

  • The role of the line profile tool in allowing physicists to go beyond point-based comparisons for deeper insight into dose distributions

  • Results from ten patient cases (prostate and oligomet) demonstrating the agreement between ClearCalc and the treatment planning system for 3D point doses and target structures

  • How improved structure layering functionality assists in the management of complex MR-guided treatment plans
