GE ADVANTAGE SIM MD versions 5.x, 6.x, 7.x up to and including version 7.7.0 Advantage Sim MD is used to prepare geometric and anatomical data relating to a proposed external beam radiotherapy treatment prior to dosimetry planning. Anatomical volumes can be defined automatically or manually in three dimensions using a set of CT images acquired with the patient in the proposed treatment position. Definition of the anatomical volumes may be assisted by additional CT, MR, PET or SPECT studies that have been co-registered with the planning CT scan. Additionally, CT & PET data from a respiratory tracked examination may be used to allow the user define the target or treatment volume over a defined range of the respiratory cycle. The geometric parameters of a proposed treatment field are selected to allow non dosimetric, interactive optimization of field coverage. Defined anatomical structures and geometric treatments fields are displayed on transverse images, on reformatted sagittal, coronal or oblique images, on 3 D views created from the images, or on a beam eye's view display with or without the display of defined structures with or without the display of digitally reconstructed radiograph
