Reduce the need for manual contouring, while increasing consistency.
Auto-Contouring uses dedicated MR imaging data and model-based adaptive algorithms to provide contours of the prostate and organs at risk. AutoContouring delineation of prostate organs at risk (OARs) has been found accurate (average distance less than 1.5mm)² in at least 70% of contours evaluated⁴.

Reduce imaging modalities to one
Since RTdrive requires input from MR images only, there is no need for CT simulation. This reduces organization and coordination of scans, eliminates the effort involved in MR-CT registration, and saves the patient from undergoing multiple procedures.

Enhance target contouring with MRI’s excellent soft-tissue contrast
MRI offers superior soft-tissue contrast compared to CT for enhanced visualization of targets and OARs. CT-based delination often overestimates the prostate volume as compared to MRI, and multiple studies have shown that MR imaging can reduce the volume of contoured prostate by around 30%⁶.

1. Tested in a non-clinical environment with single Pinnacle user and a 5-beam IMRT plan. Excluding time for optional manual adjustments.
2. Accurate means 95% percentile modified Hausdorff distance <5mm compared to contours made by experts manually. Average distance is measured as average modified Hausdorff distance compared to contours made by experts manually.
4. Based on 49 cases (each for bladder, rectum, penile bulb and femur heads).
5. 1-click is possible when automated contours are acceptable without modification.
