CASE STUDY / CLEARCALC & RADMONTECARLO

Evaluation of Independent/Secondary Verification Systems for
Patient-Specific Quality Assurance in Advanced Radiotherapy

 

High-volume radiotherapy centers often face intense resource constraints, with heavy patient demand competing for limited machine time. Evercare Hospital Chattogram in Bangladesh, which treats roughly 65 patients a day, found its conventional, phantom-based patient-specific quality assurance (PSQA) unsustainable. To overcome this bottleneck and build a scalable workflow without compromising safety, the hospital evaluated Radformation’s independent secondary dose calculation software, ClearCalc and RadMonteCarlo. Transitioning to software-based verification allowed the department to maintain strict dosimetric accuracy while freeing up critical staff and linac availability.

 

What you’ll learn in this case study: 

  • How high patient throughput and restricted linac availability create operational challenges for physical, phantom-based PSQA

  • How ClearCalc and RadMonteCarlo use advanced physics models to automate monitor unit, point dose, and full 3D dose verification

  • The results of a 180-plan evaluation showing gamma passing rates over 98% and tight alignment with treatment planning systems and physical benchmarks

  • How software-based verification reduces a department's routine reliance on physical setups, saving valuable time and increasing clinical capacity
