Leksell GammaPlan® 4C - images from anywhere at anytime

Leksell GammaPlan® is the premier treatment planning system for radiosurgery. Its ability to process all forms of imagery is combined with sophisticated functionality, enabling the user to visualize and analyze a wide range of surgical approaches all in three dimensions and real time.

It enables co-registration of non-stereotactic tomographic data such as MR, CT and PET to a frame-based study for the same patient, and Leksell GammaPlan® 4C makes it possible to overlay the brain atlas (Schaltenbrandt & Wharen) AtlasSpace™ on any data set.

The planning capabilities have been further enhanced through adding MultiView features to the latest generation of Leksell GammaPlan® software.

New Leksell GammaPlan® 4C provides the ability to display physiological images, 3D brain atlas structures, AC-PC based targeting and image fusion. Based on the advanced ImageMerge™ co-registration algorithm, any frameless image study can be matched with any other image study scanned with Leksell® Coordinate Frame.

Leksell GammaPlan® 4C allows image studies to be scanned at any remote imaging center, thus enhancing flexibility and cost efficiency in planning.
