A system generally includes at least one computing device having a user interface and a display interface. The computing device is configured to generate at least one desktop that can be viewed by a user via the display interface and to access a plurality of functionality modules that are each configured to receive at least one radiotherapy parameter. The computing device is configured to enable the user, via the user interface, to place the functionality modules onto the desktop. The computing device is configured to enable the user, via the user interface, to connect one of the placed functionality modules to at least another one to commence the generation of at least one workflow output. The computing device is also configured to enable the user, via the user interface, to connect a plurality of input components to the placed functionality modules to finalize the generation of the workflow output.

Systems and methods for providing radiosurgery treatment to a patient by combining methods from both traditional radiosurgery and radiotherapy are disclosed. A dose sufficient to kill tissue is applied to a target area while a steep drop off, or gradient, is provided at the border between the target area and adjacent areas so that other portions of the brain or nearby structures or organs are not damaged. The treatment plan is optimized by using both measures known in the art along with a new gradient index or curve that indicates the amount of the drop off at the border between the target area and the surrounding tissues.

A method and system for routing in an ATM network, which has a plurality of nodes connected to each other via links and a network management centre connected to the ATM network. The optimisation information is defined in a centralized manner in the network management centre and the nodes apply the results of this centralized optimisation according to their own condition. The optimisation information is defined so that sum of rejected capacity for each connection between an origin node and a terminal node does not exceed a predetermined limit. The invention provides the advantage that the operation of individual nodes in setting up connections is very fast. Moreover, a fair distribution of network resources among users is achieved.
