Comments by Erik Hedlund, president of C-RAD AB.
“The financial turbulences have had a limited effect on the radiation therapy market. However many projects have been delayed until end of the year. Some ongoing projects and expected sales will first be effected in the beginning of 2012. C-RAD has a strong position with three introduced systems especially developed for use in advanced radiation therapy.
Since November the so called MMI interface for communication with the C-RAD Catalyst system has been included in the Varian price list. It is an important milestone for C-RAD to be able to offer an integrated solution for auto set and respiratory gating to Varian customers. In December working interfaces will be available to CT systems of four different vendors.”
