Department Profiles

Radiation Oncology Departments Evaluating and Deploying Airato

Clinical departments in Japan are conducting retrospective plan comparison studies and prospective pilots with Airato. Profiles are anonymized per standard clinical NDA convention — institution names, patient data, and staff identities are not disclosed. Role-only attribution applies to all feedback.

Department Profiles

Participating Departments

Anonymized profiles of departments that participated in Airato's clinical validation study or are in active deployment evaluation.

Tohoku Region, Japan
Academic cancer center with dedicated radiation oncology unit
Three-linac department (Varian class). Primary treatment sites: prostate, head-and-neck, and lung IMRT. Participated in Airato's retrospective plan comparison validation study. Physics team performs weekly DVH peer review. Evaluation focused on prostate planning time and head-and-neck OAR sparing.
Kanto Region, Japan
University hospital radiation oncology department, high-volume
Five-linac department. Complex multi-site caseload including simultaneous integrated boost head-and-neck IMRT. Institutional peer review process for all plans. Active prospective evaluation; assessment criteria include PQM score improvement and per-structure constraint satisfaction visibility during optimization.
Kyushu Region, Japan
Community oncology center, general cancer program
Two-linac department. Prostate and lung IMRT constitute the majority of the caseload. Physics team evaluating planning efficiency tools against a specific constraint: managing caseload growth with existing staffing, without reducing physicist review time per plan.
Clinical Feedback

From the Physics and Oncology Teams

Role-only attribution. No institution names. Feedback describes planning workflow observations only — not treatment outcomes or patient results.

The auto-planning output gave our physicists a meaningful starting configuration for standard prostate cases. Iteration time dropped noticeably, particularly for the initial beam angle selection step.

Seeing per-structure constraint status during optimization rather than only at convergence was the most useful aspect for our review workflow. For head-and-neck cases with competing parotid and spinal cord objectives, being able to identify the binding constraint mid-run changed how we directed manual adjustments.

DICOM node configuration took one session with Airato's technical team — AE Title registration, port setup, and a round-trip test with our TPS. After that, plan import and export worked without any scripting on our side. The re-planning cycle for our repeat lung cases is now operationally consistent.

Use Cases

Common Evaluation Scenarios

Prostate IMRT — Volume Planning

High-volume prostate departments evaluating Airato to reduce physicist time-per-case for standard 7–9 beam configurations where OAR geometry is predictable.

Head & Neck — OAR Complexity

Departments treating complex head-and-neck cases where simultaneous sparing of multiple OARs (parotids, spinal cord, mandible, larynx) benefits from DVH-constraint optimization assistance.

Lung IMRT — Adaptive Planning

Departments adding adaptive treatment capability for lung cases, where daily anatomy changes (tumor response, lung inflation) make re-planning workflow efficiency important.
