Oklahoma City-based Oncology Data Systems has struck a nonexclusive distribution agreement with Varian Medical Systems to provide independent monitor unit validation software to radiation oncology clinics. The products can be used to validate calculations made by Varian's radiation oncology treatment planning software. Such verification is legally mandated. These products can help clinics automate the independent verification that they must put in place, according to Oncology Data Systems. MuCheck verifies 2D and 3D treatment plans. IMRT Check verifies IMRT treatment plans. Both are compatible with Varian's Eclipse and Helios treatment planning software products.

Breast MRI Study Examines Common Factors with False Negatives and False Positives
July 24th 2024The absence of ipsilateral breast hypervascularity is three times more likely to be associated with false-negative findings on breast MRI and non-mass enhancement lesions have a 4.5-fold likelihood of being linked to false-positive results, according to new research.
Can Polyenergetic Reconstruction Help Resolve Streak Artifacts in Photon Counting CT?
July 22nd 2024New research looking at photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) demonstrated significantly reduced variation and tracheal air density attenuation with polyenergetic reconstruction in contrast to monoenergetic reconstruction on chest CT.
