How Vendor Neutrality Empowers Radiation Oncology Clinics with Greater Flexibility

As cancer care becomes more complex and multi-system environments grow more common, radiation oncology clinics need tools that are flexible, interoperable, and built to scale. Vendor neutrality empowers clinics with the freedom to streamline workflows, improve consistency, and deliver high-quality care, regardless of the systems they use.

In radiation oncology, the best technology isn’t just powerful, it’s flexible too. The most effective tools are those that adapt to the clinic’s needs, integrate seamlessly into existing systems, and enhance patient care without adding complexity. Yet historically, software in our field has been tightly bound to specific hardware purchases, limiting clinic choice and customization. As a result, many teams are left navigating inefficient workflows, duplicate data entry, and avoidable risks to patient safety, all because their software can’t flex to fit the way they work.

Radiation therapy (RT) plays a critical role in cancer treatment as it’s required in at least half of all cases. Yet global access to RT remains highly unequal, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where limited infrastructure and resources prevent millions from receiving potentially life-saving care.

And while equipment is essential, estimates  suggest 20,000 new linear accelerators will be needed by 2035, the greater challenge lies in workforce capacity. The shortage of trained professionals and scalable workflows continues to be the most significant barrier to delivering timely, high-quality radiation therapy.

 

To bridge this growing gap, automation, efficiency, and productivity are no longer optional; they're essential.

 

Radformation: Automation for All

At Radformation, our mission has always been to elevate radiation oncology through intelligent automation, intuitive design, and a strong foundation in clinical quality and safety. Since our founding in 2016, we’ve remained focused on solving the challenges our founders experienced firsthand with workflow inefficiencies, variability in care, and limited time for clinicians to focus on patients.

 

Our solutions are designed to streamline complex tasks, harness the power of AI and automation, and enable fast, consistent, high-quality care. 

 

For us, vendor neutrality isn’t just a feature, it’s a guiding principle. We believe clinics should be empowered to choose the best technologies for their teams and their patients, without being constrained by system compatibility. That freedom is what allows innovation to thrive and care to improve everywhere.

 

Vendor-Neutral Solutions in Action

EZFluence: Automated 3D Planning

EZFluence has earned the trust of clinics for its ability to automate 3D planning with speed, consistency, and quality, all in just minutes. Now available for Eclipse, RayStation, and Monaco, EZFluence brings a unified planning experience to multi-vendor environments, allowing clinics to maintain the same high standards across all systems. By extending support across the industry’s leading treatment planning systems, Radformation reinforces its commitment to vendor neutrality and clinical flexibility. No matter which TPS your team uses, EZFluence helps you deliver fast, reliable, and consistent 3D plans without compromise.

 

ClearCheck: Plan Evaluation 

ClearCheck is a powerful, one-click plan evaluation solution that streamlines clinical review with automated constraint checks, rapid plan comparisons, and instant ARIA/PDF documentation. Built to save time and improve consistency, ClearCheck supports the implementation of TG-275 standards, helping clinics standardize and simplify plan evaluation across the board. With support available via scripting integration for Eclipse, RayStation, and Monaco, and DICOM-based workflows for other TPS platforms, ClearCheck offers the flexibility to fit into any department, making it easier than ever to deliver efficient, high-quality plan reviews across diverse systems.

 

ClearCalc: Secondary Dose Checks

ClearCalc streamlines treatment plan verification with fast, independent secondary dose calculations and an intuitive, user-friendly interface. Designed to support both routine and complex clinical scenarios, ClearCalc ensures accuracy and confidence in every plan. As with ClearCheck, it integrates via scripting for Eclipse, RayStation, and Monaco, and offers DICOM compatibility for other treatment planning systems. Beyond secondary calculations, ClearCalc also supports patient-specific QA through log file analysis, and includes RadMonteCarlo, providing gold-standard Monte Carlo verification, all within one seamless, vendor-neutral platform.

 

A Unified Ecosystem

Each Radformation tool is built with one purpose: to save clinicians time while improving consistency and accuracy. That’s why our tools are built to integrate seamlessly with all major vendors, ensuring that automation enhances your workflow instead of complicating  it.

Here's how they work together:

  • AutoContour: AI-driven auto-contouring that generates high-quality structures in seconds, available directly within your TPS
  • EZFluence: Automated 3D planning that eliminates the tedious process of manual fluence editing available for any beam arrangement and any treatment site.
  • ClearCheck: Comprehensive plan evaluation for dose constraints, plan checks, prescription checks and structure analysis, all in one interface.
  • ClearCalc: Secondary 3D and IMRT/VMAT dose calculation which is simple, fast, and physics-trusted.
  • RadMonteCarlo: An independent Monte Carlo calculation that provides clinicians the gold standard in treatment plan verification.
  • ChartCheck: Automated chart QA that tracks clinical and dosimetric changes in the patient’s chart over time.
  • RadMachine: Machine QA management built for efficiency, compliance, and modern-day collaboration.
  • QuickCode: Smart billing and coding automation that simplifies compliance and captures revenue.

The Future of Oncology is Connected

With a growing suite of intelligent tools, Radformation is helping clinics around the world streamline workflows, reduce variability, and elevate the quality of care.

 

We’re proud to partner with departments of all sizes, across every region and platform. As our solutions continue to evolve, so does our commitment to advancing automation that works across systems, making planning, QA, and billing more efficient, consistent, and safe.

Whether your clinic uses a single TPS or operates in a multi-vendor environment, Radformation empowers your team to automate with confidence.
