"Radformation and Limbus together can be a significant force in bringing advanced AI capabilities into the clinic. This will truly bring treatment planning into a new era."
is month, we have the pleasure of highlighting Suveena Guglani, a dedicated radiation physicist at the Kelsey-Seybold Clinic in Houston, Texas. Suveena's team utilizes both Radformation solutions and Limbus ContourTM in the clinic on a daily basis. We’ll get an in-depth look at how these tools have transformed her department's workflow and enhanced safety and patient care.
Currently operating three Radiation Oncology clinics across the Greater Houston area, Suveena is part of a team of five physicists and five dosimetrists providing top-quality care at the Kelsey-Seybold network. With a fourth center planned for later this year, they are proud to continue offering patients convenient access to healthcare services while continuing to offer standardized care across all of their locations.
Suveena shares, "We use and love our Radformation products — ClearCheck, ClearCalc, and RadMonteCarlo — because of the automation and integration with Eclipse." Additionally, last year, the team began using Limbus Contour and found they significantly improved efficiency and consistency across their sites. "To have contours that utilize deep learning to efficiently and quickly contour was such a time saver and freed up dosimetry time to generate treatment plans more effectively.”
Discussing the impact of Radformation and Limbus AI on her team's workflow, Suveena highlights the time savings and increased efficiency these tools provide. "Our team has experienced significant time savings with Radformation products like ClearCheck and ClearCalc. The integration with Eclipse speeds up the process even further by allowing us to import portal dosimetry and drop documents directly into the ARIA interface. These tools provide the efficiency needed in a busy radiation therapy clinic, enabling us to evaluate plans faster and treat patients more accurately. Radformation also offers robust training support, which was crucial during our rollout."
The integration of Limbus Contour into the clinic has also been seamless. "Our doctors were impressed with the accuracy of the contours, requiring only minor adjustments. Over time, Limbus Contour improved standardization across our clinics, with standardized TG 263 convention naming helping to maintain consistency."
Suveena emphasizes the direct benefits her team has experienced in terms of efficiency and accuracy with the Radformation and Limbus AI combo. "The combination of consistent contouring and standardized nomenclature has allowed us to utilize standardized constraint sets to reliably interpret treatment plans. This consistency instills confidence in our physicians, physicists, and dosimetrists, reducing errors and improving patient management across multiple sites. Since our physicians cover multiple locations, this standardized approach ensures objective evaluation of treatment plans, regardless of the site."
Reflecting on the recent merger, Suveena highlights her excitement: "We were very excited because it brought together the products we love and use daily to make our lives more efficient. We felt it was fitting that Radformation also appreciated the accuracy and efficiency of Limbus AI software."
Looking ahead, Suveena is optimistic. She enthusiastically remarks, "Radformation and Limbus together can be a significant force in bringing advanced AI capabilities into the clinic. With Limbus Contour advancing its deep learning contour sets and offering customized contouring capabilities, coupled with Radformation's efficient approach, we eagerly anticipate the enhancements this collaboration will deliver. This merger will truly bring treatment planning into a new era."
Suveena's enthusiasm is palpable as she envisions a future where these combined Radformation and Limbus AI technologies set a new standard for efficiency and accuracy in radiation therapy. It's clear that for Suveena and her team, the future is bright and focused on improving patient care through innovative automation tools.
For this User of the Month feature, Suveena compassionately acknowledges her "entire awesome team at Kelsey Seybold." Check out these great photos of the team hard at work!
