Pinnacle3® Radiation Therapy Planning System incorporates a number of fully integrated subsystems, including Pinnacle³ Proton, which supports proton therapy planning. The full Pinnacle3® Radiation Therapy Planning System software package provides planning support for the treatment of disease processes, utilizing photon, proton, electron and brachytherapy techniques.

Pinnacle3® Radiation Therapy Planning System assists the clinician in formulating a treatment plan that maximizes the dose to the treatment volume while minimizing the dose to the surrounding normal tissues. The system is capable of operating in both the forward planning and inverse planning modes. Plans generated using this system is used in the determination of the course of a patient’s radiation treatment. They are to be evaluated, modified and implemented by qualified medical personnel.
