“OptiPlan was built in direct response to what we were hearing from our users. Treatment planners need ways to work more efficiently without giving up control over clinical decisions,” said Jayne Churness, Director of Product Management at Radformation. “By automating repetitive optimization work while keeping clinicians at the center of the process, OptiPlan gives planners more time to focus on the decisions where their expertise matters most.”
OptiPlan leverages patient anatomy and clinical priorities defined through ClearCheck templates to generate high-quality VMAT plans without model training or commissioning. Planners can refine the balance between target coverage and organ-at-risk sparing by comparing plan options side by side before selecting the approach that best meets the patient’s clinical objectives.

OptiPlan will be available for live demonstrations at the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) Annual Meeting September 27th-29th in Boston, MA. Attendees can experience OptiPlan automated VMAT planning firsthand and explore Radformation’s latest advancements across the radiotherapy workflow, including:
*OptiPlan automated VMAT planning is an optional module of EZFluence and is not available in all markets. Availability is subject to applicable regulatory approvals.

The British military said an “unknown projectile” struck a tanker as it entered the Strait of Hormuz on Monday, injuring two crew members. The vessel continued toward port under its own power.
Meanwhile, the Israeli military remains on alert as much of the country shuts down for Yom Kippur, the holiest day in Judaism.
Fighting across Yemen killed or injured 680 people last week, the World Health Organization said.
Here is the latest news from the Middle East on Monday. Full coverage is available here.
The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations Center (UKMTO) said a tanker was struck by an “unknown projectile” as it headed into the Strait of Hormuz. Two crew members sustained minor injuries.
The UKMTO said Monday the vessel is reportedly continuing to its next port of call under its own power. No reports indicated any environmental impact at this time.
Tehran has asserted control over much of the Strait of Hormuz since the U.S. and Israel launched the war on Feb. 28. In peacetime, about 20 million barrels — roughly a fifth of the world's oil supply — passed through Hormuz each day.
Some tankers are again traversing the strait, but traffic is well below what it once was.
The World Health Organization says 680 people were killed or injured across Yemen over the course of a week as fighting between Iran-backed Houthi rebels and Saudi-backed government forces continues.
WHO said on Monday in a post on X that 164 people were killed and 516 injured between Sept. 13 and Sept. 18. It brings the total number of casualties since Aug. 6 to 3,672, including 674 deaths and 2,998 injuries.
Lahj province in southwestern Yemen is currently an active front line where 58 deaths and 226 injuries were reported within six days, according to the U.N. agency.
An estimated 125,000 people have fled their homes as the Houthi rebels have advanced down the Red Sea coast to a key maritime chokepoint.
Israel's military remained on alert even as the country woke up to the silence and empty streets of Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, considered the holiest day for the Jewish faith.
Streetlights blinked yellow Monday as the faithful walked to the Western Wall in Jerusalem’s Old City.
“For the next 25 hours, Israel is offline,” the foreign ministry said on X after sundown Sunday. But the military said it bolstered its front line forces following the killing of an Israeli settler Sunday in the occupied West Bank. The Palestinian suspect was detained after a search.
France says it will summon Iran's ambassador to protest over the closure of a French language center affiliated with the French Embassy in Tehran.
The French Foreign Ministry said in a statement late Sunday that Paris would “take appropriate measures in response” but didn't specify. It's also unclear when the Iranian ambassador would be summoned.
The ministry called the “unjustifiable and unacceptable” closure of the language center a new attack on France's cultural presence in Iran and linked it to an assault on two French Embassy staff members in July.
This report will be updated throughout the day as new developments emerge.
