Case Study: Auckland City Hospital achieves efficient large-scale adaptive therapy with RaySearch RayStation

Auckland City Hospital speeds 4,000 radiation therapy courses a year with RaySearch

Auckland City Hospital's Radiation Oncology Department faced the challenge of implementing large-scale adaptive radiation therapy to maintain precision as patient anatomies changed during treatment, all while needing to optimize efficiency to serve a large population. To achieve this, they invested in RaySearch's RayStation treatment planning system to provide the necessary high-speed and high-quality planning infrastructure.

The solution from RaySearch enabled a highly protocolized and efficient workflow. RayStation's fast algorithms and tools for adaptive therapy and deformable registration allowed clinicians to replan treatments in minutes, ensuring optimal dosage to the target volume while protecting organs at risk. This resulted in the hospital operating one of the largest VMAT programs in Australasia, running almost 4,000 therapy courses per year with a completely paperless system, greatly improving consistency and the capacity to perform adaptive replanning.
