Automated 3D Dose-volume Verification: Gearing Up for Complex Planning scenarios
LAP is prioritizing clinical awareness, uptake and application of the automated 3D dose-check functionality now incorporated into its RadCalc QA software
May 25, 2021 — Independent verification always has been, and likely always will be, the core value proposition for RadCalc QA secondary check software. For more than two decades, this suite of widely deployed quality assurance (QA) tools has provided medical physicists and dosimetrists with fully automated and independent dosimetric verification of their radiotherapy treatment planning systems (TPS). What’s more, ongoing product innovation saw the RadCalc value proposition advance significantly last year with the clinical roll-out of automated 3-D dose-volume verification – a result of the successful integration of Monte Carlo and collapsed-cone convolution superposition algorithms into the platform.
Calls to the designated number for making vaccination appointments yielded either a busy signal or the recorded message, “Your call did not go through. Please try your call again later.”
Calls to other numbers with the health department produced the same results.
James Kent of Lake Wales said he had called the vaccination line about 30 times Tuesday. He said most calls resulted in a busy signal. The three times he got through to the electronic answering system, he was promptly disconnected, he said.
"It's extremely frustrating, that the county system doesn’t seem to be prepared to deal with the requests for vaccinations that they should have expected once they announced a program was going to be in place, that the governor (Ron DeSantis) was going to distribute the vaccines," Kent said.
