Solutions working in concert to create efficient workflows
Establishing or growing a particle therapy practice
requires as much attention to the components forming
the integrated whole as it does in selecting an appro-
priate treatment machine. Beyond technology, there’s
efficiency. It’s how the treatment planning system and its
components, patient positioning and immobilization
devices, and information management technology
work together to create the best possible workflow
that operates securely in a multi-vendor, multi-modality
environment. Elekta, a leader in particle therapy from
the modality’s beginning, helps the customer put it all
together. From XiO® planning, MOSAIQ® information
management and Clarity™ soft tissue visualization to
patient-friendly support equipment and expert
consultative services, Elekta works with the center
to build a world-class particle therapy service.
“The Elekta team brings significant expertise in proton therapy and radiation oncology with their software solution and, more importantly, the associated service. Elekta shares our vision of making the OIS the central hub for the entire therapy workflow, and together we can make this happen. This will provide significant benefits to our physician partners, hospital partners and their patients.”

Oncology Information System (OIS)The key to achieving patient care objectives is consolidation of all aspects of the oncology service through a single OIS. MOSAIQ® is used in over 3,000 oncology centers globally and more oncology patients’ records are managed using MOSAIQ than any other commercial OIS—making it the most comprehensive and widely used system. MOSAIQ delivers quality software solutions that are designed to meet the continually evolving needs of oncology departments. This dynamic and pragmatic development approach has led to the adaptation of MOSAIQ for particle therapy—now in clinical use. In fact, MOSAIQ is the principal image-enabled chart of the particle therapy clinic.
Treatment PlanningElekta has worked to enhance particle therapy planning solutions since 1998. Today, XiO®, Focal 4D™ and Atlas-based Autosegmentation (ABAS) deliver comprehensive planning functionalities that address a range of clinical needs. In addition, the integrated planning capability supports several treatment modalities, including broad beam, pencil beam scanning and continuous scanning together with conventional radiation therapy. XiO, in particular, provides you with a comprehensive 3D IMRT planning platform. It includes automated tools to reduce planning time and robust dose calculation algorithms for highly precise plans.
Respiratory Motion ManagementActive Breathing Coordinator is a simple, vendor-independent solution for pausing a patient’s breath at inhalation for a short period, during radiation delivery. This breath hold technique has helped clinicians dramatically reduce margins for tumors impacted by respiratory motion.
Patient Positioning and ImmobilizationA requirement for the success of rigorous particle therapy treatment modalities is precise patient positioning and immobilization, from planning to treatment. BodyFIX® and Fraxion, non-invasive immobilization and positioning systems, provide accurate and reproducible patient positioning for particle therapy.
Service and SupportTo maximize the clinical and financial potential of oncology management solutions requires centers to have or gain an in depth understanding of the technology they use and how they use it. STRATEGIQ® consultative services provide a comprehensive, accelerated approach to help facilities fully utilize their Elekta IT solutions—improving the facility’s operational and clinical function. Fundamentally, STRATEGIQ services are designed to help facilities adapt rapidly to change and sustain value in the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, research and follow-up of cancer patients.
Image Guidance Clarity™ takes soft tissue visualization to entirely new levels for PT treatments. Easy to learn and use, Clarity is capable of integrating with any PT workflow and treatment delivery platform. Clarity’s hybrid imaging technology delivers superior soft tissue visualization for CT-Sim, assisting with contouring during PT simulation and planning. In addition, Clarity provides high spatial accuracy and speed for daily setup and positioning as well as a path to intra-fractional, non-invasive anatomy-based real-time tracking1. Based on patented medical imaging technology, Clarity is a safe and gentle approach to providing enhanced soft tissue image guidance for PT.
Data Visualization and AnalysisANALYTIQ™ is a data visualization and analysis tool, which creates an interactive, graphical environment to explore, segment and analyze large volumes of practice management related data. Direct data visualization enables quick discovery of trends, anomalies and relations and immediate exploration of their root causes. Upon completion of an analysis, a perspective can be exported to other types of programs – spreadsheets, statistical packages and word processors – for additional analysis, electronic distribution or data archiving.
“The shared vision and effort of a group of vendors, including Elekta, made the process of creating a proton therapy center manageable and the outcome a reality. Elekta professionals integrated proton support into our existing IT implementation, allowing us to extend our current chartless radiation therapy environment to the new proton center.”
