C-RAD AB: IBA frame order 2013

IBA Dosimetry in Germany has placed a frame order for deliveries in 2013 of diode detectors  

C-RAD AB with its four fully owned subsidiaries are all active in the field of radiation therapy. C-RAD and IBA Dosimetry have negotiated and agreed upon deliveries in 2013 of diode detectors for use in dosimetry at the radiation therapy clinics. IBA has placed a frame order of 6, 1 MSEK.

IBA Dosimetry is a world market leader of dosimetry products and systems for use in diagnostics and radiation therapy. The subsidiary C-RAD Imaging AB is since 1 January 2010 responsible for the manufacturing and the further development of the IBA diode detector program. The detectors are being used in in-vivo dosimetry and calibration of accelerator systems.

Last August manufacturing with a new detector chip was started. Most of the back log could before end of the year be shipped

Compared to 2012, the volume in 2013 is expected to remain unchanged.

Erik Hedlund, CEO of C-RAD AB:

“The decision by IBA to invest in the design of a new detector chip is showing great expectations regarding the further development of the market for diode detectors for use in radiation therapy. The experiences with detectors based on the new diode chip will be closely followed up.”
