VariSeed 8.0 will allow greater visibility of the treatment. It will offer brachytherapy physicists new and improved contouring tools, including the ability to contour in the sagittal and coronal planes. Contouring the urethra has been simplified by the introduction of the Structure sweep, which is also available in the VariSeed Implant View module for interactive seed placement and dosimetry.

Rebecca Claydon, software product manager with Varian’s brachytherapy business unit, said: The new features provide even better visibility of the positions of individual seeds in permanent seed implants. Based on feedback from urologists, VariSeed 8.0 facilitates the planning of prostate seed brachytherapy treatments by biopsy section so that a localized boost may be delivered to a target region of the prostate.
