We are at the ICCR 2013

Meet us at the International Conference on the Use of Computers in Radiation Therapy (ICCR2013) which is held in Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (6-9 May 2013). The conference has many interesting themes, including: dose calculation methods, analysis/evaluation of 3D distributions, Monte Carlo modelling, verification imaging including CBCT, segmentation, data mining, image registration, imaging for planning including functional, etc. We display our poster entitled Cloud-Based Workflows Tools Supporting Medical Imaging in the Segmentation section, and here is the link. We are currently in the phase of accepting new pilot users. If you are interested please send us e-mail.
