Radcal to Supply Quality Assurance X-Ray Testing Equipment to West Physics
By MedImaging International staff writers Posted on 11 Nov 2022 |

Radcal Corporation (Monrovia, CA, USA), a leading manufacturer of diagnostic X-ray quality assurance (QA) meters, has reached an agreement with West Physics (Atlanta, GA, USA), one of the largest and most successful Medical Physics groups in the U.S., to supply QA X-ray testing equipment.
For over 40 years Radcal has been a steadfast partner in making accurate reliable radiation measurements for quality assurance, manufacturing, service, and compliance applications. The company’s modular product line is designed to be tailored to individual needs with the broadest array of sensors, systems, displays, and software. As part of the agreement, West Physics will purchase 43 of Radcal’s new Touch Professional series, Accu-Gold+ Touch Pro, which includes a new software-based measuring system capable of performing multiple operations with just one exposure. The agreement also includes light and multi-sensors, CTDI and scatter ion chambers, test stands, cables and carrying cases. The first X-ray test kits have already been delivered, with additional kits to be delivered in Q4 2022 and early 2023. The additional kits will support West Physics continued expansion and ensure it has up-to-date physics gear as older units are retired.
“Our independent business nature makes our products an attractive option for physicists around the world and we are committed to providing the most state-of-the-art, high-quality diagnostic X-ray testing equipment to ensure accurate and fast X-ray QA test results,” said Gustavo Tuntisi, territory director of Radcal Corporation. “The Accu-Gold+ Touch Pro is the most comprehensive system in Radcal’s product line, providing a tailored solution to reliably deliver powerful and fast X-ray quality assurance testing analytics.”
“Radcal’s Accu-Gold+ Touch Pro will be an important addition to West Physics’ scientific equipment inventory as we continue to expand,” added Dr. Geoffrey West, president and chief medical physicist of West Physics. “These new X-ray testing kits provide accuracy, reliability, and superior operating economics, and the agreement reflects our prudent approach to deploying our capital while ensuring extremely high levels of technical capability and customer service.”
