Abstract
Purpose: Analyze the clinical application of MIM maestro in cancer radiotherapy and evaluate the advantage of the software compare to the clinical applied tools. Materials and Methods: Potentially relevant studies published were identified through a pubmed and web of science search using words “MIM Maestro,” “Atlas,” “image registration,” “dose accumulation,” “irradiation.” Combinations of words were also searched as were bibliographies of downloaded papers in order to avoid missing relevant publications. Results: In many patients with cancer radiotherapy, multiple types of images are demanded, MIM Maestro is a multi-modality image information processing system for radiotherapy. Contour atlas and image registration among dose accumulation and individual fractions is beneficial for radiotherapy. Overall 34 papers were enrolled for analysis. The MIM appears to provide excellent clinical applications such as the function of contour altas, image fusion and registration, dose accumulation in radiotherapy compared to the other software. Conclusions: The regular optimization of radiotherapy technology and the development of image technology, improve the clinical efficiency. The current paper give a systematic review of MIM Maestro multi-modality image processing software.
