                  At the request of 
                  our clients across the U.S., the release of Pinnacle 3 Version 
                  7.4 has created a need for a new clinical upgrade 
                  package.  We are offering a new service to acquire the 
                  additional MLC field data without disturbing ongoing clinical 
                  operations.  The entire data set is remodeled in the new 
                  version to take advantage of the increased accuracy of the 
                  algorithm and then clinically validated generating a 
                  comprehensive report based on AAPM TG-53 for accreditation 
                  purposes.
