Astroid - Proton Planning System

Optimized Infrastructure

The first, and only, TPS built for the cloud, from the ground up

• Faster Plan Processing
  • Secure computational resource sharing
  • Optimal balance of local and remote calculations
• Lower cost of ownership
  • Less on-site hardware
  • Less IT & local infrastructure burden
  • Per-use or traditional license pricing available
• Increased data safety
  • Improved data integrity & redundancy
  • Advanced user & data groups and permissions
  • Complete user access and data history user records
• Streamlined software versioning
  • Seperate user-interface (UI) and computational library (CL) components
  • Update UI and CL independently
  • Less re-commissioning: automatically compute and compare dose between versions
