Iba - University of Groningen
Outcome
Addressing this need Yuma, entered in a productive collaboration with the University of Groningen, to develop a unique, open-source platform. The platform was specifically designed to be a versatile tool for researchers, enabling them to create, evaluate, and modify a broad spectrum of workflows that are integral to the formulation of their treatment plans. One of the standout features of this digital tool is the integrated medical imaging viewer. The viewer not only provides a streamlined platform for viewing medical images but also efficiently retrieves and manages a wide range of files and data from patients, all in standard medical file formats. Our designer ensured that the tool’s design emphasized modularity and adaptability, key characteristics necessary for accommodating the diverse range of workflows encountered in clinical practice. From image processing pipelines to dose estimation modules, the tool was engineered to handle an array of complex procedures, seamlessly aligning with the diverse workflows researchers engage in on a daily basis.
Conclusion
In conclusion, this project, fostered through our collaborative efforts with the University of Groningen and IBA, successfully focused on the creation of a digital tool adapted to meet the needs of researchers in proton therapy. The outcome was a tool capable of enhancing the evaluation of treatment plans, thereby enhancing the operational efficiency within this domain. The success of this endeavor underscores our joint commitment to continual innovation applied to the very specific field of proton therapy.
