Proton Partners International Limited (PPI), has placed an order for the treatment planning system (TPS) RayStation®. PPI was established in 2015 and operates the Rutherford Cancer Centres. PPI was first to provide proton therapy in the UK.

RayStation will be used at the clinic alongside its current TPS and together with hardware solutions from vendors such as IBA, Elekta and Philips. The decision to place an order on RayStation was made to further enhance the clinic’s treatment planning potential.

RayStation was selected based on its advanced treatment planning functions for PPI’s treatment modalities across its UK network of centres. The order contains features such as proton pencil beam-scanning, fallback planning, multi-criteria optimization, adaptive planning and 3D, IMRT- and VMAT photon planning.

John Pettingell, Chief physicist & head of radiotherapy at PPI, said: “We are very pleased to be integrating RayStation into the Rutherford Cancer Centre network. RayStation will run side by side with our existing planning systems and will help to enhance our overall proton beam therapy services and improve patient experience.”

Johan Löf, CEO of RaySearch, says: “The leading functionalities in RayStation for proton planning are a very good match for PPI and its clinics. Proton therapy is a key area for RaySearch, and we are constantly evolving our capabilities to include new advanced features. It’s also pleasing to see that RaySearch’s strong presence in the UK will continue in 2019, and I look forward to this new collaboration with PPI.”
