9 Reshaping the dose with MRI on-table adaptive NSCLC Adrenal Metastasis treatment Original Plan Day of Treatment Today s standard is to use this initial plan every day of the treatment Henke et al. Int J Radiation Oncol Biol Phys, Vol. 96, No. 5, pp. 1078e1086, 2016

10 Reshaping the dose with MRI on-table adaptive NSCLC Adrenal Metastasis treatment Original Plan Day of Treatment Today radiation is often delivered this way missing parts of the target and irradiating healthy tissue Best case, some technologies will detect the move, but not the changed shape Today s standard is to use this initial plan every day of the treatment MRIdian shows tumor has moved significantly and changed shape Henke et al. Int J Radiation Oncol Biol Phys, Vol. 96, No. 5, pp. 1078e1086, 2016

11 Reshaping the dose with MRI on-table adaptive NSCLC Adrenal Metastasis treatment Original Plan Day of Treatment Just accounting for the shift is only part of the story The tumor has also changed shape Only ViewRay s Adaptive planning can RESHAPE the prescription Matching the tumor s shape and position All without moving the patient Henke et al. Int J Radiation Oncol Biol Phys, Vol. 96, No. 5, pp. 1078e1086, 2016

12 Reshaping the dose with MRI on-table adaptive NSCLC Adrenal Metastasis treatment Original Plan Day of Treatment This is the plan that was expected to be delivered every day for the duration of the treatment This is what the MRIdian saw the first day of treatment, the tumor has moved significantly to the right Just accounting for Only ViewRay has the Integrated the shift is only software tools to RESHAPE the part of the story, prescription to match the tumor s since the tumor shape and position RIGHT BEFORE has also changed TREATMENT shape With this unique capability clinicians can further increase dose without increasing toxicity and that has exciting benefits Henke et al. Int J Radiation Oncol Biol Phys, Vol. 96, No. 5, pp. 1078e1086, 2016
