Welcome to a new world of CT simulation

The rise in RT patients will add further pressure to the already complex and challenging RT workflow. Patients often go through the five-step process multiple times.

A fundamental starting point for treatment is CT simulation that consistently delivers high-quality information about the tumor and surrounding organs. Yet a lack of integration, automization, and standardization means that workflows are often time-consuming, highly prone to error, and dependent on individual experience and the patient’s ability to follow instructions.

Cancer is universal. It is the second leading cause of death worldwide and was responsible for 17% of all lives lost in 2017.¹ The world’s population is also getting older, with the number of over-60s set to increase significantly between now and 2050.²

With cancer cases expected to surge by 50% between 2020 and 2040, RT departments will see a huge rise in the number of patients requiring their support.³

The number of patients with conditions that create challenges for treatment, such as moving tumors, is set to grow significantly.⁵
