ScandiDos Expands with New Reference Center in Madrid, Spain
ScandiDos, a global leader in quality assurance solutions for radiation therapy, proudly announces that the prestigious Hospital Central de la Defensa Gómez Ulla (HCD Gómez Ulla) in Madrid has become a reference center for ScandiDos and the Delta4 family of products.
As a reference center, HCD Gómez Ulla will serve as a key site for demonstrating best practices in the use of the Delta4 product suite, supporting other institutions in optimizing their quality assurance (QA) processes. The hospital has integrated the complete range of Delta4 products, including the latest innovation Delta4 Insight: a software for secondary 3D dose calculation.
"At HCD Gómez Ulla, we are committed to setting a new standard for precision and quality in radiotherapy treatments," said Francisco Javier San Miguel Avedillo, Head of the Medical Physics Department. "With our expertise and the advanced tools provided by ScandiDos, we can confidently verify and enhance the accuracy of our treatments while contributing new insights to the radiotherapy community through research.
Earlier this year, HCD Gómez Ulla hosted a successful user meeting, gathering clinical experts and medical physicists from across Spain to share experiences with the Delta4 Phantom+, a widely used solution for QA in cancer treatments at over 800 clinics worldwide. This event highlighted the hospital’s role as a hub for knowledge exchange and innovation.
“We are honored to welcome HCD Gómez Ulla as a reference center," said Gustaf Piehl, CEO of ScandiDos. “Their collaboration will strengthen our efforts to promote best practices in QA and share knowledge with the broader radiotherapy community, helping advance the field together."
