Brachyvision 6.0 is designed to allow the dose distribution of an implant or applicator to be individually shaped for each patient. Brachy Vision is a general purpose brachytherapy planning system used for prospective and confirmation dose calculations for patients undergoing a course of brachytherapy, using either temporary or permanent implants of various radioisotopes.

Brachy Vison 6.0 may be used for any brachytherapy planning activity, but has been specifically optimized for use with remote afterloaders (especially the VariSource unit from Varian), and for use with 3D images such as may be obtained from CT or MRI, or Ultrasound images.

Brachy Vision is a computer based product used for calculating and displaying prospective or verification treatment plans for particular patients undergoing a course of Brachytherapy. The system consists of a computer with graphics display, film scanner input, and plotter output. Patient data may be entered from network connection, via the film scanner, via the optional back lit digitizer, or via the keyboard. Source placement information may be added to the patient data and isodose distributions, which would result from those source placements, may be displayed, analyzed and plotted. For use with remote afterloader devices, source dwell times may be optimized to user selected criteria.

The provided text describes Brachyvision 6.0, a computer-based product for calculating and displaying brachytherapy treatment plans. However, it does not contain specific acceptance criteria or a study detailing device performance against such criteria.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information. The document focuses on:
