Biological intelligence
Utilize patient biology to maximize the clinicians intent
“Monaco has consistently provided excellent tumor coverage while meeting our physicians’ very strict OAR tolerances. The Target Penalty cost function and segment shape optimizer allow us to treat more patients with VMAT than ever before, and even our most complex SBRT cases have extremely quick treatment times.”
Accuracy without the compromise
Monte Carlo Gold Standard XVMC photon algorithm achieves a high level of precision even at tissue interfaces with different densities at speeds suitable for everyday use.
Understand patient biology
Defining the different organ response rates, with constrained biological optimization, delivers a clinical solution without the need for help structures.
Enable high standards for quality of life
Ensure doses to normal tissues are as low as possible to limit the side effects that may occur. Multicriterial optimization with sensitivity analysis removes the trial and error allowing the clinician to understand the intricate relationship between tumor and normal tissue.
Personalized radiation therapy for every patient
Integrated planning capabilities for a streamlined user experience
“The faster calculation speed for IMRT planning with Monaco version 5.11 has been invaluable for increasing our planning throughput ”
Demand efficiency with expertise
Standardize plan creation, from contouring to optimization with anatomical, plan and isodose templates. Further increase expertise using template manager to share knowledge and implement best practices.
Deliver what you plan
Monaco uses the Monte Carlo algorithm–the most accurate dose calculation available on the market.
The Monaco treatment planning system unlocks:
- 1,024 dynamic control points for superior and efficient treatment
- Performance of highly modulated deliveries with faster arc treatments
- Increased patient comfort with less on-table time
Automatically respond to change
Automate the contouring process with deformable image registration for accelerated intrapatient adaptive therapy and retreatments. Predictive insight tools such as the variation tool, relax response and point sensitivity provide intelligent guidance to improve plan quality. Rapidly improve overall planning efficiency by up to 70% without the need of help structures.
Deliver what you plan
Workflow doesn’t end when the plan leaves the TPS
“The excellent dose modulation available with Monaco, combined with the advanced physics design of Agility, removed any limitations due to leaf width and also offered greater brain sparing, which is important for minimising cognitive impairment.”
Elekta’s High Definition dynamic RadioSurgery (HDRS) solution
Single, multifunctional, high definition dynamic stereotactic AND conventional RT solution that removes traditional constraints of linac-based treatments
Optimize plan deliverability
Enhance throughput by optimizing the deliverability of the plan without losing plan quality with IntelliBeam and Segment Shape Optimization (SSO)
Adapt into the future
Deliver plan adaptation while ensuring OAR tolerances are never exceeded with bias dose planning.
