C-RAD presented its complete product portfolio on the ESTRO Meeting in Vienna. Around 40 customers attended the clinical presentation of CATALYST HD™.
The annual ESTRO meeting is the largest event in Europe where companies working in radiation therapy meet with clinicians and partners. The C-RAD booth was centrally in the exhibition hall. For the first time the Cyrpa booth has been integrated in the C-RAD stand.
On the main stage in the booth the CATALYST HD™ system has been presented. It was the first time that the system has been shown on a European exhibition. Presentations with a model allowed a realistic demonstration of the applications for Patient Positioning, Motion Monitoring and Respiratory Gating. The GEMini™ was demonstrated in combination with the software package from Cablon Medical for portal dosimetry and imaging. Also the joint product of C-RAD and Cyrpa for 4D Imaging and Virtual Simulation has been demonstrated to clinical customers as well as representatives from the major CT vendors.
During the exhibition C-RAD organized site visits of a clinical CATALYST HD™ installation in Vienna. Around 40 customers joined the presentation of the system. Varian organized visits to the same radiation therapy center to present their equipment.
Tim Thurn, CEO, C-RAD AB:
“Compared to the already successful presentation last year we counted almost 50% more customer contacts. Specifically the high interest in CATALYST HD™ and GEMini™ made me confident that C-RAD is continuing its way into a successful future.”
