Radiation Treatment Planning Systems

Radiation Treatment Planning Systems (TPS) are sophisticated software tools used by medical professionals to design precise radiation treatments for cancer patients. They analyze imaging data (like MRI or CT scans) to identify tumor locations and surrounding tissues. The system then calculates the optimal way to deliver radiation doses, ensuring maximum attack on the tumor while minimizing damage to healthy tissue. It helps create a detailed treatment plan, including angles, doses, and beam shapes, supporting effective and safe therapy. Overall, TPS is essential for individualized, accurate radiation treatment management.
