Intended Use

Advantage Sim 6.0 is used to prepare geometric and anatomical data relating to a proposed external beam radiotherapy treatment prior to dosimetry planning. Anatomical volumes can be defined in three dimensions using a set of CT images acquired with the patient in the proposed treatment position. The geometric parameters of a proposed treatment field are selected to allow non-dosimetric, interactive optimization of field coverage. Defined anatomical structures and geometric treatments fields are displayed on transverse CT images, on reformatted sagittal, coronal or oblique images, on 3 D views created from the CT images, or on a beam eye's view display with or without the display of defined structures with or without the display of digittaly reconstructed radiograph.

Device Story

Advantage Sim 6.0 is a radiation therapy simulation system used to prepare geometric and anatomical data for external beam radiotherapy. It takes CT images as input, allowing clinicians to define anatomical volumes in 3D and select geometric parameters for treatment fields. The system enables non-dosimetric, interactive optimization of field coverage. Outputs include displays of anatomical structures and treatment fields on transverse, reformatted (sagittal, coronal, oblique), 3D, and beam's-eye-view images, including digitally reconstructed radiographs (DRRs). The device operates on a validated Advantage Workstation. It supports DICOM V3.0 data export/import for integration with external treatment planning systems and laser controllers. It replaces traditional simulators by providing complete volume definition and beam placement capabilities. Clinical benefit includes improved accuracy in treatment field planning and patient setup.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. The device relies on bench testing, including a hazard analysis, risk management summary, and software verification/validation processes to demonstrate safety and effectiveness.

Technological Characteristics

Radiation therapy simulation system; software-based; runs on validated Advantage Workstation with single/dual color monitors. Connectivity via DICOM V3.0 for image/volume/plan data. Supports hardcopy output via laser camera or Postscript printer. Data storage via CD-R. No specific materials or energy sources listed as the device is a software-based planning workstation.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients undergoing external beam radiotherapy planning. Used by clinicians to define anatomical volumes and geometric treatment fields in 3D using CT images to optimize field coverage prior to dosimetry.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A radiation therapy simulation system is a fluoroscopic or radiographic x-ray system intended for use in localizing the volume to be exposed during radiation therapy and confirming the position and size of the therapeutic irradiation field produced. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, treatment planning computer programs, component parts, and accessories.

geometric parameters of a proposed treatment field are selected to allow nondosimetric, interactive optimization of field coverage.

Defined anatomical structures and geometric treatments fields are displayed on transverse CT images, on reformatted sagittal, coronal or oblique images, on 3 D views created from the CT images, or on a beam eye's view display of defined structures with or without the display of defined structures with or without the display of digittaly reconstructed radiograph.

The GE Advantage Sim 6.0 has to ensure relations with the following external systems:

#### Data Export

Image, volume and plan data are exported in accordance with DICOM V3.0.

Implementation profile is available on request. NOTE: Any treatment planning system connected to Advantage Sim 6.0. must be DICOM 3.0 compatible and capable of reading DICOM RT Plan and RT Structure Set.

Export of treatment plan data to any external system, and its correct interpretation by that system, must be fully validated before use. Advantage Sim 6.0 stores isocenter coordinates and user defined marker coordinates onto an external accessible directory using a published protocol readable bv external mobile laser controller.

#### RT Data Import

Image, volume and plan data can be imported in accordance with the RT objects of the DICOM Standard. Import of treatment plan data from an external system, and its correct interpretation by Advantage Sim 6.0, must be validated before use.

#### Hardcopy

Hardcopy of all displays and plan data can be made at selected magnification on paper or transparency material. Users can print DRR to film at user defined SID if equipped with an Advantage Workstation 6.0. compatible Laser camera** (** Laser camera must be adequate for scaled printing), with the appropriate AW Laser Camera Interface. (AW Option). Hardcopy of beam parameters and of isocenter coordinates, using IEC standard, can be made on an optional Postscript printer

#### Archiving
