With RDM new features of Organ Dose, Peak Skin Dose and many more, allows institutions to meet Euratom/2013/59 Directive which goes into place Feb of 2018.

SANTA CLARA, CALIFORNIA, USA, April 13, 2017 /EINPresswire.com/ -- SST GROUP INC. and development partner MPTronic, sign partnership with Virtual Phantoms to add a new module: Calculation of the Organ Dose to RDM™ (Radiation Dose Monitor).

SST Group, Inc., is proud to announce the integration of the organ dose module ‘VirtualDose™CT’ into its Radiation Dose Monitor (RDM) solution. Developed in partnership with Virtual Phantoms, Inc., this new module will be added to RDM’s existing features.

The features of the organ dose module include:
• Monte Carlo algorithm calculation of mean doses delivered to organs by type of activity using existing dose data (DLP, CTDI, etc.)
• Estimation of the dose received by the fetus from the different stages of gestation of the pregnant woman
• Several parameters are considered: weight, height, age, pregnancy stages of the pregnant woman, etc.
• Calculation in accordance with ICRP- 60 and ICRP-103 recommendations

“Peter Caracappa, CTO of Virtual Phantoms, Inc., approached SST Group with his virtual phantom modeling platform. I saw an immediate match to further explore the patient radiation dose and continue the expansion of the data collected by RDM. This would allow for a more accurate dosage profile for any patient and also for further reduction and optimization of the dosage delivered to patients during ionizing exams,” said Richard Murphy, President, SST Group, Inc.

Additional features added to RDM to meet Euratom/2013/59 Directive

“Leveraging MPTronic’s and MedSquare’s experience in Europe allows SST Group to be at the forefront of dose management in the US and to provide our customers with a state-of-the art product that goes beyond the requirements,” concludes Mike Sutherland, Sales Director, SST Group, Inc.

With increasing regulations in the EU, dose monitoring has become an important issue. The release of the Euratom/2013/59 Directive mandates member states to have national legislation on safety standards in place by February 2018. RDM is ahead of the requirements.

New features include Peak Skin Dose Module, Dynamic pivot tables to create custom reports, New advanced statistics module allows for cross-dose data comparison, Implementation of specific alerts regarding a patient, Display of distribution of alerts over the course of a period of time


RDM™ (Radiation Dosage Monitor) is designed to collect, control, analyze and optimize radiation doses delivered to patients during medical imaging and interventional examinations. It utilizes a Dose Archive and Communication System (DACS) to store and manage radiation dose data for patient current and historical procedures and includes all captured diagnostic, interventional and image-guided surgical ionizing events. The RDM is truly unique compared to other DOSE Monitoring products, because it acquires, stores and analyzes data directly from the modality to present a more accurate dose estimate. Its intuitive browser-based user interface allows medical professionals gain complete control of the dose with instant access to a patient’s dose history and real-time monitoring and alerts.

“Our development partner MPTronic, and its EU partner Medsquare, have quickly become the leading provider of Dose Management Systems (RDM) in Central Europe. SST Group believes that Patient Dosage monitoring should go beyond the requirements and provide a complete history of an institution’s population for all diagnostic, interventional and image-guided surgical ionizing events to be captured. This additional information allows a facility to truly see the entire picture on a patient’s dosage history based on anatomical region, not just what is sent to PACS. Our partnership with MPTronic allows SST Group to be at the forefront of this market as it matures.” explained Richard Murphy, President, SST Group, Inc.
