Intended Use
The AcQPlan 5.0 is an integrated 3-D RTP and simulation system embedded in a volumetric image processing computer environment. AcQPlan 5.0 is intended to be used to plan radiation therapy treatments on linear accelerators and other similar teletherapy devices with x-ray beams of energies from 4 to 50 MV, cobalt-60, and electron beams with energies from 4 to 50 MeV of the entire human anatomy. It allows the treatment planner to employ such techniques as asymmetrically collimated fields, irregular fields, multi-leaf collimators, non-coplanar fields, bolus, and fixed wedges. It allows the treatment planner to take heterogeneities into account (CT only) for photon beams using two versions of the Batho method or the Equivalent TAR (ETAR) method, and it uses a generalized Gaussian pencil beam model for electron beams. Using AcOPlan 5.0. the treatment planner can simultaneously visualize target and normal tissues and the computed 3-D dose distributions in great detail, on a real-time basis. The treatment planner develops treatment plans in a coordinate system accurately fixed to set-up marks on the patient made possible by volumetric 3-D image processing. Tools for managing competing and complementary plans are provided. Tools, based on DVH plots, are provided for comparing competing plans. High quality DRS and DCS (digitally reconstructed or composited simulation) images, with BEV and beam graphics superimposed, are generated to replace conventional simulator films. This device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, components and accessories.
Device Story
AcQPlan 5.0 is a 3D radiation therapy planning (RTP) software system integrated with AcQSim virtual simulation. Input: CT and MR volumetric image datasets. Operation: System processes images to allow treatment planners to define target/normal tissues, simulate beam geometries (asymmetric, multi-leaf collimators, non-coplanar, wedges), and calculate dose distributions. Dose calculation uses Batho or ETAR methods for photons (CT-based) and generalized Gaussian pencil beam models for electrons. Output: 3D dose distributions, Digitally Reconstructed/Composited Simulation (DRS/DCS) images, and Dose-Volume Histogram (DVH) plots. Used in clinical settings by trained healthcare professionals (physicians/planners) to develop and evaluate treatment plans. Output enables visualization of dose relative to anatomy, facilitating clinical decision-making for radiotherapy delivery. Benefits: Improved precision in treatment planning, real-time visualization, and replacement of conventional simulator films.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Effectiveness established through evaluation throughout development phases and verification that the product performs in accordance with development specifications.
Technological Characteristics
Software-based 3D RTP system; operates on volumetric image processing computer environment. Photon dose calculation: Batho method or Equivalent TAR (ETAR). Electron dose calculation: Generalized Gaussian pencil beam model. Supports multi-leaf collimators, asymmetric fields, and non-coplanar beams. Compliance: IEC 60601-1, UL 187, 21 CFR Subchapter J.
Indications for Use
Indicated for radiation therapy treatment planning for patients requiring external beam radiotherapy using linear accelerators, cobalt-60, or electron beams (4-50 MV/MeV) across the entire human anatomy.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A medical charged-particle radiation therapy system is a device that produces by acceleration high energy charged particles (e.g., electrons and protons) intended for use in radiation therapy. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, treatment planning computer programs, component parts, and accessories.
