Customer experience with Precision:
• “Our clinicians particularly like the improvement in load time for all sites”.
• “Optimiser is much faster and can now actually be stopped mid-way. Able to cope with >50000 points.”
• “Much faster to switch between displays and selecting optimisation steps.”
• Fine tune option much faster.
• Generating reports is much faster.
• Faster to generate beams following collimator selection. “….

Improved User Experience: Intuitive User Interface
• “Clinicians like how contours can easily be selected and toggled in display- ease of change is very quick.
• Very useful to be able to keep reduced calculation box in optimiser box whilst being able to do review calc on whole CT. Makes switching back to re-optimise much easier. Very much like the feature of being able to click once to set the calculation box to CT/Skin/VOI.
• Customisable display- particularly AAA view is appreciated. • Really like customisable Window levels and the R click options• Re-treat option is great.• Like that you can see dose and % next to each other for the isodose display.• Generating a structure from an isodose line is particularly useful for fine-tuning away
spikes.• Display much better- fewe 3D views….”

PreciseART™ Adaptive Radiation TherapyFully integrated adaptive solution
Accuray takes adaptive radiation therapy to the next level by integrating the delivery and planning systems to support the easy, efficient, and accurate monitoring of the effects of anatomical changes and the efficient generation of a modified treatment plan as necessary
• Quantitative MVCT images for treatment-plan-quality dose calculations using the daily MVCT
• PreciseART™ Adaptive software, created in partnership with MIM Software, largely automates the process of offline adaptive monitoring helping clinicians quickly and easily determine when they may need to modify a treatment
Reviewing the daily registration of a treatment planning CT and Fan Beam MVCT we see anatomical changes have taken place
26
PreciseART™ Adaptive Radiation TherapyAutomated and efficient
Automated features• Deforms the planning VOIs onto the daily image• Calculates the dose on the daily image• Deforms and accumulates the daily dose on the treatment planning CT
• Generates user-defined reports• Flags the fraction for review if any delineated structure exceeds user-defined dose or dose-volume tolerances
Efficient Evaluation• Quickly and easily review the daily dose, cumulative dose, dose differences and trending data relative to the original treatment plan to determine when re-planning is necessary
• Review daily registrations• Compare fractions• Review the original and the deformed contours on the daily merged image
• Evaluate deformation using included QA tools
Review the results of the daily dose (plan re-calculated on the MVCT with deformed contours) relative to the planned dose

PreciseART™ Adaptive Radiation TherapyWorkflows - adapting the plan
If re-planning is indicated• Create a new “adapted” plan utilizing
original plan data mapped to a new treatment planning CT
‒ Deform original plan contours ‒ Use Plan Template from original
treatment plan to help efficiently develop the new adapted plan
Continue the adaptive monitoring workflow process• Software accumulates dose across original
and all new re-plans

PreciseRTX™ Retreatment Option

PreciseRTX™ Retreatment OptionMake Re-planning More Efficient and Effective
Retreatment• Cancer patients are living longer, while often maintaining a good
quality of life• Many patients will experience a recurrence or new cancers • With use of appropriate therapies and technologies, many believe
we can move some advanced/recurring cancers into a “chronic disease” status*
• Radiation therapy patients undergoing “retreatment” represent an expanding segment of the radiotherapy market
Precision Matters• Accuray treatment technologies deliver precise radiation therapy
that maximizes dose to targets while minimizing dose to surrounding healthy tissues
• Due to the precise nature of these devices, Accuray products are frequently used to treat patients with recurrent disease
• The new PreciseRTX™ Retreatment Option is designed to add the functionality to make this process more efficient and effective
*American Technion Society. "Treating cancer as a chronic disease?." ScienceDaily. ScienceDaily, 29 March 2012. New research could someday lead to treatments that transform cancer from a lethal disease to a chronic, manageable one.
35
PreciseRTX™ Retreatment OptionWorkflow: select original plan data
• The Retreatment Option is found in the Accuray Precision™ Treatment Planning System main screen
• The user starts the process by selecting the original (previous) treatment plan files. This may include images, contours, and/or dose
‒ DICOM compatible treatment plans created on both Accuray and non-Accuray systems may be imported
36
PreciseRTX™ Retreatment OptionWorkflow: select new plan data
This data set is now available for:• Creating a new patient treatment plan
incorporating the original plan data
• Evaluating prior dose deformed to the new planning image
• Summing old and new plans
Select the new treatment plan data:• New treatment planning CT, possibly
a new contour set
• The system automatically deforms previous treatment plan contours and dose onto the new treatment planning CT
Contours and Dose deformed from original treatment plan onto new treatment planning CT
37
PreciseRTX™ Retreatment OptionMake Re-planning More Efficient and Effective
Import patient plan data from Accuray and non-Accuray treatment delivery systems
Workflow-oriented features:
Deform the original plan contours onto a new treatment planning CT
Add previously delivered dose to a new treatment planning CT
Utilize the deformed treatment planning CT images, contours, and dose to assist in generating a new treatment plan
Sum the new plan with the original plan
Create reports based on the summation of the previous and newly generated treatment plans
