ASTRO announces nine radiation oncology equipment manufacturers passed at least one portion of interoperability at its third Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise – Radiation Oncology Connectathon.

ASTRO is pleased to announce that nine radiation oncology equipment manufacturers passed at least one portion of interoperability at its third Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise – Radiation Oncology (IHE-RO) Connectathon.

Accuray, BrainLAB, Elekta, GE Healthcare, Nucletron, Philips, Tomotherapy, Siemens, Varian and MIMVista attended to test the interoperability of their equipment against two new profiles: “Advanced RT Objects Interoperability” and “Integrated Positioning and Delivery Workflow,” as well as the 2007 profile, “Basic RT Objects,” and the 2008 profile, “Multimodality Image Registration for Radiation Oncology.”

Each vendor passed at least one portion of the Connectathon, which included the aforementioned profiles and the IHE-RO test suite, which tests computer software submitted prior to the Connectathon to validate the base functionality of the products.
