CLEVELAND, April 17, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- MIM Software Inc., a leading global provider of medical imaging software, today announced it has received approval to sell MIM SurePlan LiverY90, a solution for post-treatment dosimetry of Yttrium-90 (Y90) microspheres, in Europe.
MIM SurePlan LiverY90 provides tools to assist institutions in the calculation of personalized dosimetry. This supports European Council Directive 2013/59/Euratom, which requires medical physics experts to take responsibility for dosimetry including measurements for evaluation of dose delivered to a patient.
Y90 dosimetry is a new add-on functionality to MIM Software's existing standalone medical device software. The functionality was determined to be an extension to scope of the existing certification and, therefore, covered under MIM Software's current CE Mark.
Y90 microspheres deliver local radiation as permanent brachytherapy implants to tumors in the liver. Currently, PET or SPECT images are obtained after treatment to verify the distribution of microspheres. Now, absorbed dose from the Y90 microspheres can be calculated on a voxel-by-voxel basis using the PET or SPECT images.
MIM SurePlan LiverY90 provides timesaving tools for liver and tumor segmentation, deformable registration, and allows patient-specific dose calculation on Y90 PET and Bremsstrahlung SPECT images after administration of permanent Y90 microsphere implants. The absorbed dose can be calculated for tumors and the liver to help provide important additional information to the clinician.
MIM Software will demonstrate MIM SurePlan LiverY90 at the 2018 European Conference on Interventional Oncology April 22-25 in Vienna, Austria. Attendees wishing to view a demonstration can visit booth 10.
