RaySearch and Mevion announce strategic partnership

RaySearch and Mevion to develop advanced treatment planning solutions for the Mevion S250 with HYPERSCAN. Collaboration to benefit from RayStation’s advanced planning capabilities and HYPERSCAN’s fast pencil beam scanning proton therapy technology RaySearch Laboratories AB and Mevion Medical Systems, Inc., two companies that are leading the field of proton therapy, are announcing a partnership to develop advanced treatment planning solutions for the MEVION S250 proton therapy platform. RaySearch’s RayStation® treatment planning system supports the MEVION S250’s current configuration so this new partnership will focus on validating the use of the RayStation® treatment planning system for Mevion’s new HYPERSCAN pencil beam scanning technology, and developing advanced planning solutions that take advantage of HYPERSCAN’s rapid pencil beam delivery capabilities. “Mevion and RaySearch are leaders in the proton therapy marketplace and it is only natural that we would collaborate,” said Joseph K. Jachinowski, President and CEO of Mevion Medical Systems. “By partnering, we are creating a synergy that allows clinicians to maximize the benefits of our technologies and realize the full potential of HYPERSCAN’s fast pencil beam scanning delivery.” Johan Löf, President and CEO of RaySearch Laboratories AB said: “We are excited to collaborate with Mevion to combine the powerful treatment planning tools in RayStation with the HYPERSCAN technology. Together we will help deliver advanced cancer care to the patients who need it most.” The partnership is being announced at the 56th annual meeting of the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO), held September 14 – 16 in San Francisco.
