RadMachine software enables radiotherapy clinics and diagnostic centres to manage their quality assurance tasks on a single cloud-based platform When the Hôpital de la Tour in Switzerland recently restructured its radiation therapy services, it brought in a completely new medical physics team. These physicists were tasked with revising all of the hospital’s radiotherapy processes, including the machine quality assurance (QA), without interrupting clinical activities. To deliver a seamless changeover, the team needed to find a comprehensive QA system that could effectively manage the department’s suite of radiotherapy treatment and simulation devices.
Ideally, the software would be simple to use, fast to deploy, and able to perform all of the required QA and quality control (QC) tasks from a single platform. The answer lay in RadMachine – a complete cloud-based QA platform from oncology software company Radformation . RadMachine provides machine QA for all therapeutic and imaging systems, as well as ancillary equipment, integrating all of the data into a simple, centralized hub.
The software enables users to review multiple QA data streams at once and provides detailed reports to help track device performance over time. “When we arrived in this centre, it was challenging because the previous physicists left before our arrival. We found lots of home-made QA solutions, but these were unusable without knowledge transfer, so we had to quickly implement a new QA system,�.
