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.
