{{:astroid:astroid_logo.png?nolink&250 |}}The .decimal Astroid Planning App is a cloud based software used for treatment planning of proton radiation therapy treatments. The Astroid Planning App is an interactive end user application that leverages the existing .decimal Dosimetry App functions for device creation, dose calculation, and optimization to facilitate efficient development of proton radiation treatment plans. The Planning App allows user interaction to capture treatment inputs and display results, and the Dosimetry App performs the calculations.

By using this advanced cloud based technology, the Astroid Planning App is able to be perform well on any lightweight Windows computer, reducing the hardware and up-front setup costs that are typically associated with owning a radiation treatment planning system.
