Description:



The Government is interested in gaining knowledge of potential businesses that would be able to distribute or manufacture MapCheck2 (MC@) device and associated software necessary for conducting quality assurance on patient treatment plans prior to treatment to the Overton Brooks VA Medical Center in Shreveport, LA. The MC2 is used to perform patient intensity Modulated radiation Therapy and Image Guided Radiation Therapy Quality Assurance (IMRT/IGRT QAs). The MC2 will also be used for Linear Accelerator (LINAC) quality assurance of light vs radiation field, beam steering and output checks on a monthly and annual basis. The current plans IMRT/IGRT and future SRS/SBRT require a high degree of precision and proper transference to the LINAC to be delivered correctly without issues.
