The Advanced Radiation Therapy Systems, Inc., "Advanced Treatment Planning System" is used to plan patient treatments for radiation therapy with external photons and electrons.

The Advanced Treatment Planning System (ATPS) from Advanced Radiation Therapy Systems, Inc. (ARTS) is a software product that runs on a Silicon Graphics, Inc. UNIX Workstation in conjunction with specified accessory hardware. The ATPS provides the user the tools to easily perform patient treatment planning for the application of electron and photon radiation therapy utilizing input of patient anatomy from Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) devices. Incorporation of 3D visualization software from Advanced Visualization Systems (AVS), combined with X windows and Motif graphics, results in a graphical user interfacc that is both flexible and casy to use. See the User's Manual in Tab 5 for a more detailed description and examples of graphics. The ATPS provides both two dimensional (2D) and three dimensional (3D) dose calculation algorithms for photons and electrons.
