ANAHEIM, CALIF.-Siemens Healthcare unveiled the IM-Real ART Solution, a real-time planning system that produces images in 10 minutes or less, at the 2009 American Association of Physicists in Medicine meeting.

IM-RealART Solution accounts for the difference in the patient from scan to scan, while still maintaining the same timeslots, according to the company.

The platform is designed specifically for immediate replanning within Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT) and can be combined with Siemens' CTVision and PROWESS RealART system for in-room imaging.

Other products displayed at AAPM included Syngo MultiModality Workplace (formerly known as Leonardo), Syngo RT Therapist 4.1, Syngo RT Oncologist, and MVision for volumetric, inline, and target imaging.
