Medscint

What Medscint does

Medscint is a Quebec-based medical device company founded in 2018 that develops plastic scintillation dosimetry solutions for radiotherapy quality assurance. Its core technology is a proprietary hyperspectral scintillation dosimetry approach that differentiates between scintillation and Cherenkov emissions, enabling Cherenkov-free, real-time, multi-point dose measurements without stem-effect interference. The company's product architecture is anchored on the HYPERSCINT platform, comprising the HYPERSCINT QA medical device (the company's first commercially distributed medical device, available in the US, Japan, and South Korea), the HYPERSCINT RP-200 research platform for time-resolved dosimetry in adaptive radiotherapy and MR-LINAC settings, and the HYPERSCINT RP-FLASH for ultra-high dose-rate (FLASH) applications. These are complemented by a modular detector family (PRO, MICRO, FLEX, FLASH, MODULES) supporting specialized use cases such as sub-millimeter small fields, in-catheter measurements, and integration with the IBA QUASAR MRI4D Motion Phantom for MR-guided radiotherapy QA.

The company sells hardware directly to clinical and research customers through enterprise sales and contact-driven engagement, complemented by regional distribution partnerships covering South Korea (EnergyFlow), Italy (DosimETrICA), Spain (Fimecorp), BENELUX (Radicare), and the UK/general (OSL). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Customer segments are primarily clinical medical physicists at hospitals and academic medical centers conducting advanced radiotherapy research, with a secondary segment of FLASH and proton therapy research groups. As of late 2025, Medscint reports HYPERSCINT solutions deployed across 15 countries, with named customers spanning academic institutions (University of Maryland, UC Davis, University of Victoria, University of Galway) and hospital systems (CHU de Québec–Université Laval, Odense University Hospital, Hôpital général juif). The company employs approximately 12 team members led by co-founder François Therriault-Proulx, with deep in-house technical depth across medical physics, optical engineering, and software development, supported by strategic R&D and clinical partnerships with Université Laval and CHU de Québec.

Core offering

Medscint designs, manufactures, and sells plastic scintillation dosimetry systems for radiotherapy quality assurance. Its flagship HYPERSCINT QA is a 2-channel medical device for clinical small-field dosimetry and End-to-End QA, commercially distributed in the United States, Japan, and South Korea. The HYPERSCINT Research Platform (RP-200 and RP-FLASH variants) provides turnkey, real-time, multi-point dosimetry for advanced radiotherapy research including MR-LINAC, Adaptive-RT, and FLASH (Ultra-High Dose-Rate) applications. The portfolio is complemented by a modular detector series (PRO, MICRO, FLEX, FLASH, MODULES) and the HYPERDOSE QA Software for real-time visualization.

Product overview

Medscint is a Quebec-based manufacturer of medical radiation therapy devices and a leader in plastic scintillation dosimetry solutions. The company offers a platform-plus-products architecture anchored by the HYPERSCINT technology platform, which uses proprietary hyperspectral technology combined with plastic scintillators, optics, and photonic systems. The core product family includes HYPERSCINT QA (medical device for clinical use), HYPERSCINT RP-200 (research platform for advanced applications), and HYPERSCINT RP-FLASH (specialized for FLASH/UHDR radiotherapy). These are complemented by modular detector series (PRO, MICRO, FLEX, FLASH, MODULES) that provide specialized capabilities for different measurement scenarios. The platform provides water-equivalent, MRI-safe, energy-independent, angle-independent, dose rate-independent, real-time, multi-point dosimetry for quality assurance in radiotherapy.
