Focal overview at a glance
Focal's advanced image fusion tools enable clinicians to effectively leverage the diagnostic capabilities
of all available imaging modalities with rapid and reliable automated fusion of standard DICOM images to
ensure planning structures have the best possible delineation options. Focal's Mutual Information algorithm
delivers quick and accurate alignment of all available imaging modalities with a single mouse click.
Registration results can be viewed with powerful image blending and robust checkerboard visualization tools,
and manually manipulated for the best possible fit.
Simplify and streamline the planning process with advanced contouring capabilities that allow for quick
and easy identification of planning volumes and adjacent anatomy. 3-D contouring and powerful automation
tools, including 3-D auto-margin, auto-threshold, and patented auto-segmentation, enable clinicians to
create contours effortlessly, while novel interpolation algorithms support the rapid creation of planning
structures from as few as two contours. Structures can be created and manipulated effortlessly with
flexible drawing and editing tools such as multi-variable size paintbrush.
Focal’s advanced visualization tools and fully integrated CT simulation capabilities deliver valuable
increases in staff efficiency, image quality, and planning accuracy. Dynamic 3-D visualization of patient
anatomy and beam parameters, powerful real-time DRR rendering techniques, and multiple customizable views
ensure efficient access to all required images and planning perspectives. Planning time is significantly
reduced with a range of tools for automated isocenter definition and rapid beam placement and manipulation.
Focal’s multi-vendor plan review features a flexible layout environment, rich graphical displays and a
suite of analytic tools to help clinicians compare multiple candidate plans from different planning
vendors, quantify and evaluate dose coverage trade-offs, and ensure the best possible course of treatment
for each patient. Whether reviewing one, two or three different treatment plans, the flexible display of
transverse, sagittal and coronal images along with comparative reference doses allows for quick and easy
comparison of plan trade-offs. With the choice of colorwash, isofill and isodose lines, multiple contour
display modes, and absolute / percentage dose values, users can customize their experience to suit
individual preferences and workflow requirements.
