C-Tools 2.0 Under the Scope
Posted by Darius Wey in "SOFTWARE" @ 09:05 AM
Any Irks?
Yes, there are a couple. This tool is largely American-oriented both in the expression of units and the information. While this can be disregarded to an extent, it isn't encouraging for worldwide users looking to check out this tool for the first time. Apart from that, if you own a newer device, one thing you may notice is C-Tools' lack of support for landscape and VGA display modes. This is something I'd like to see fixed in a later release given the fact that more and more people are beginning to eyeball VGA devices.
Conclusions
Overall, you'll find C-Tools to be a great little resource. I wouldn't call it the greatest medical reference out there, but I definitely wouldn't call it the worst either, given the fact that it is freely available. If ACS ever sorts out the display mode issues and attempts to make the application a little more globally oriented, then I could see this being a favoured tool among many medicos. But for now, if you're an American physician, there's no reason why you shouldn't check this guide out. If you live elsewhere, there are alternative reference guides available, but C-Tools is still worth a look nevertheless. It's concise cancer-related information at a reasonable price!
