C-RAD signed a contract for in total three C-RAD systems with Mälarsjukhuset Eskilstuna. The order contains two Catalyst™ and one Sentinel 4DCT™ System.
The Catalyst ™ will be delivered with the complete software configuration containing modules for Respiratory gating, Patient Setup and Positioning and Motion Monitoring as well as respective interfaces to the existing CT and linear accelerators. The procurement was through a public tender, specifically for surface tracking devices.
The radiotherapy center in Eskilstuna is equipped with two Elekta linear accelerators and a GE CT. The installation of the Sentinel 4DCT ™ System will take place after the summer. The installation at the Catalyst ™ systems will follow.
The Catalyst ™ and Sentinel ™ system offer the required technology to perform high end treatment techniques within radiation therapy. With this solution C-RAD supports the whole 4D treatment chain from imaging to delivery. Respiratory gated treatments are frequently used when the target volume is close to cardiac tissue or for special treatments in which the tumor position depends on the respiratory cycle.
Tim Thurn, CEO, C-RAD AB:
“I am pleased to announce that Mälarsjukhuset Eskilstuna has decided for the C-RAD technology. This project underlines the strong interest from customers and the market potential for the C-RAD systems.”
