Adaptiiv Announces United States Military to Use 3D Bolus in the Treatment of American Veterans at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center


HALIFAX, Oct. 18, 2018 /CNW/ - Adaptiiv, an innovative medical technology company announced today the United States Military will use 3D Bolus Software, Adaptiiv's advanced software, in treating American veterans with cancer at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center (WRNMMC).  Dubbed "The Nation's Medical Center," WRNMMC is the United States' largest and most renowned joint military medical center that provides services in over 100 clinics and specialties.  

3D Bolus Software provides practitioners with a turn-key solution that enables 3D printing of patient-specific uniform thickness bolus, modulated bolus for MERT (modulated electron radiation therapy), High Dose Rate (HDR) surface brachytherapy and other potential ancillary devices.
