ATLANTA, GA--(Marketwire - October 19, 2009) - Velocity Medical Solutions®, a
privately-held, Atlanta-based company founded in 2005 by a team of seasoned
oncology professionals with expertise in clinical outcomes, radiation
treatment planning and software development for oncology, today announced
the availability of a new subscription service designed to quickly provide
adaptive radiation therapy to hospitals and radiation oncology centers with
minimal up-front capital investment. With less than a $5,000 up-front
investment, the subscription service provides a workstation computer and
all software to equip radiation oncology departments with the most advanced
imaging platform available. This subscription service resulted from a new
cost-effective method of product demonstration and delivery service.
"Hospitals across the country are struggling with financial pressures and
very limited or frozen capital budgets for technologies that can enhance
patient care such as the Velocity-AI™ system," said Richard diMonda,
President of Velocity Medical Solutions. "We examined our approach and
identified a number of ways to remove unnecessary costs, resulting in our
ability to offer this new subscription service with a very minimal up-front
capital investment."
The Velocity-AI™ Advanced Imaging Solutions system provides advanced
visualization, fusion and metabolic assessment tools to better assist
oncology professionals in the management of cancer patients in all stages
of the treatment process. The adaptive radiation therapy platform provides
dose tracking and automated re-planning tools that allow clinicians to
compare dose planned to actual dose delivered throughout the treatment
cycle. Adaptive re-contouring saves significant time when re-planning is
required due to anatomical changes throughout a patient's treatment.
Velocity-AI's deformable fusion and automated atlas-based segmentation
tools allow a more accurate incorporation of diagnostic imaging into the
treatment planning process and provide significant time savings in the
initial contouring process. These tools represent the latest developments
in clinical advancements available to oncology professionals.
The Velocity-AI Advance Imaging Solutions system enables physicians to use
multi-modality imaging data sets to develop radiation therapy treatment
plans. Visit the company's web site at www.VelocityMedical.com for
