Exact purpose
RayStation 9.1 and 9.2, marketed as RayStation 9B and 9B SP1, are configurable radiation therapy treatment-planning and analysis software. They support image import and fusion, contouring, dose calculation, optimization, plan evaluation, and export of approved treatment plans, with added dual-energy CT and stereotactic-radiosurgery dose-calculation support, Toshiba beam-intensity calculation, and seated treatments.
Treatment-planning workstation used after image acquisition to define patient geometry, configure and optimize treatment beams, calculate and evaluate dose, review two- and three-dimensional displays and dose-volume histograms, approve a plan, and export approved treatment objects.
Patient CT data, including supported dual-energy CT workflows, and where used registered PET or MR images; user-defined structures, treatment-machine data, prescription, optimization objectives, and other treatment-planning parameters.
Reviewed treatment plans, calculated dose distributions, structures, images, setup parameters, plan visualizations, and dose-volume histograms; approved DICOM treatment objects can be exported for downstream use.
A proposed plan must be reviewed and approved by authorized, clinically qualified users before treatment. The clearance establishes substantial equivalence and manufacturer verification and validation, not independent proof of patient outcomes or suitability for a site's machines, protocols, interfaces, seated-treatment setup, or commissioned beam models.
The FDA listing establishes the regulatory identity. It does not by itself establish local workflow fit, pricing, security, or performance in your environment.
Use these fields to structure a vendor demo, security review, and implementation estimate.

The publication reports no conflict of interest. Product-family evidence is not proof of equivalence to the exact 9B build, local beam model, machine, or protocol.
These are common procurement questions; unknown values remain visible until a source supports them.
Pricing and total cost
No public price for RayStation 9B or 9B SP1 was found. A 2025 vendor announcement reports a RMB 51 million RayStation order including a service contract for a Chinese carbon-ion center; this is a product-family, bundled institutional benchmark and is not a 9B list price or a transferable quote.
CMS describes payment for professional and technical radiation therapy services, not a separate payment assigned to named treatment-planning software. The reviewed source does not support treating RayStation as independently reimbursed; local payer, contract, and service-line analysis remains necessary.
Vendor-announced product-family order for a carbon-ion center. It is not a RayStation 9B list price, excludes unknown allocation across licenses and services, and should not be transferred to another institution or configuration.
Recall and adverse-event records are shown only after product matching. Adverse-event reports do not establish incidence or causality.

Recovered from the prior exact-submission extraction and normalized under the current provenance rules. The exact FDA summary, current vendor product context, peer-reviewed product-family dosimetry evidence, public pricing observation, CMS payment context, and every exact-identifier FDA recall candidate were manually reviewed. Security and operational-monitoring details remain explicitly unresolved for the exact 9B releases rather than being inferred from later documentation. Automated exact-name discovery found 20 PubMed and 5 ClinicalTrials.gov candidate records. Candidates require human product and version matching; zero candidates is not evidence that no studies exist. 14 FDA recall candidates were manually reviewed: 13 published and 1 rejected as a neighboring or otherwise inapplicable version. Native FDA recall identifiers produced 14 postmarket candidate records; 14 have been reviewed (13 published, 1 rejected) and 0 remain unreviewed.
Candidate leads remain unpublished until a human confirms the exact product and tested version.
