Eclipse for Proton Therapy
Eclipse Proton Planning brings together robust optimization, Monte Carlo dose calculation, knowledge-based planning, treatment delivery optimization, and integrated workflows in a single planning environment. Designed to support the evolving needs of proton therapy, Eclipse helps clinical teams plan with confidence and work efficiently.
Integrated within the broader Eclipse treatment planning ecosystem and powered by ARIA CORE, Eclipse supports connected proton and photon workflows across the treatment journey. Eclipse Proton Planning is compatible with a range of proton therapy delivery platforms, including Varian ProBeam/ProBeam360 and IBA Proteus systems.
Key capabilities
Robust Optimization and Evaluation
Account for uncertainty with confidence.
Optimize and evaluate proton treatment plans while considering range, setup, and motion uncertainties.
- Robust optimization designed to account for proton-specific uncertainties.
- Robustness evaluation across multiple uncertainty scenario
AcurosPT
Monte Carlo dose calculation with GPU-accelerated performance.
Monte Carlo-based proton dose calculation designed to support planning accuracy and efficient workflows.
- Monte Carlo dose calculation for optimization, utilizing intermediate dose and final dose calculations for enhanced accuracy.
- GPU-accelerated performance with >2x faster calculation speeds in Eclipse v19.011.
RapidPlanPT
Knowledge-based proton planning
Leverage historical planning knowledge to support consistency and efficiency in proton treatment planning.
- Generate patient-specific optimization objectives using machine learning.
- Support planning consistency across users and sites.
RapidScan
Treatment time optimization for proton delivery on ProBeam and ProBeam360°
Incorporate delivery dynamics into treatment planning to support efficient proton delivery.
- Optimize treatment delivery time during planning.
- Designed to maintain plan quality while reducing delivery time.
LET-Guided Planning
Add biological context to proton plan review.
Evaluate dose and Linear Energy Transfer (LET) together to provide additional biological context for proton treatment plans.
- Simultaneous dose and LET calculation through AcurosPT.
- Visualize and compare LET distributions during plan review.
Flash Research Configuration
Research capabilities for proton Flash planning
Research-focused tools designed to support physics- and biology-based Flash research workflows.
- Intelligent spot placement and advanced Flash optimizer.
- Dose rate calculation and review capabilities.
Flash therapy is under development and is not available for commercial sale. Flash is designed to enable physics- and biology-based research only.
"Our study demonstrates that the RapidScan dose delivery technology has the capability to significantly reduce treatment delivery times while maintaining plan quality. With RapidScan, we believe most patients would only require half the number of breath-holds and approximately 50% of the post-imaging treatment time to receive their treatment."
Machine Compatibility and Platform Integration
Flexibility across proton therapy environments
Support planning workflows across Varian and selected third-party proton delivery systems.
- Compatible with Varian ProBeam and ProBeam 360° systems.
- Support for selected third-party proton platforms including IBA ProteusPlus and ProteusONE, Hitachi ProBeat, Mevion S250, Sumitomo and McLaren ProTom.
