MIM Expands Clinician Tools for Reirradiation and Composite Plan Assessment

A new reirradiation workflow is now available for use in MIM Maestro^™. The Reirradiation and Composite Plan Assessment workflow, available for MIM 7.4 and later, adds powerful capabilities to reduce complexity in reirradiation and boost scenarios.* In a single workflow, physicians can transfer or sum any number of previously delivered external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) plans to the current EBRT plan while accounting for radiobiological effects.

The latest of the MIM Workflows^™, the new reirradiation workflow aims to help clinicians perform personalized treatment planning more efficiently with a variety of new or updated capabilities:

• Step-by-step instructions guide clinicians through dose summation of any number of EBRT plans. 
• Rigid or deformable image registration can be used to accurately transfer dose from prior plans to current anatomy. 
• Clinicians can discount specific structures or the entire dose, if desired, for more accurate assessment of radiobiological effects between courses of treatment.
• Clinicians can efficiently reprocess a dose transfer or summation iteratively, freely changing parameters (alpha/beta ratios, fractionation, etc.) to explore multiple options for treatment within the same open MIM session.

With this new workflow, the MIM Radiation Oncology team hopes to empower clinicians with all the necessary tools to make effective decisions on the best course of treatment for all patients, even those with a complex EBRT history.
