Treatment planning system

A Treatment Planning System (TPS) is a specialized software used by healthcare professionals, particularly in radiation therapy, to design precise treatment plans for patients. It maps out how much radiation to deliver, where to target it, and minimizes exposure to healthy tissues. The system processes medical images and data to create a tailored plan that maximizes the effectiveness of treatment while reducing side effects. Essentially, it guides clinicians in delivering safe, accurate, and effective therapy, ensuring that the patient receives the right dose in the right areas.
