LifeLine Software, Inc. announces launch of RadCalc version 4.3, providing customers more advanced features for independent MU and point dose verification for conventional and IMRT treatment planning systems.

RadCalc® Users Will Benefit From New 4.3 Version

Powerful IMRT QA software now provides even more enhanced features

RadCalc® 4.3 offers several new enhancements that continue to provide physicists, dosimetrists, and their colleagues’ state of the art MU and point dose verification that is fast, accurate, and easy to use.

Just a few of the enhancements include improved IMRT dose calculation and revisions to the MLC Data tab so that users can magnify the view of the fluence map, display control point data, edit MLC leaves easier, display the modulation factor, %diff for point, and volume averaged dose. We added the ability for users to edit control point data, display volume average dose points and locations, display dose per control point, click on the fluence map and display point and dose information, and added a simulate button to simulate delivery.

Other enhancements include adding an electronic format for printouts and added preferences for the default print layout and date format for printouts. Printouts now include additional calculation information as well as an optional comments section.

Jim Dube, LSI’s President notes, “At LifeLine Software we are driven by our commitment to continuous improvement in all we do, so by enhancing RadCalc®’s functionality we continue to offer the most complete and up to date IMRT verification software to our clients.

We see RadCalc® version 4.3 as a demonstration of our commitment to provide the most comprehensive independent MU & point dose verification software product in the world. As the number of RadCalc® users grow, we have the opportunity to respond to more ideas on how to meet our customers’ needs.
