He will be important for our further activities in the field. His marketing and sales experience, especially in the marketing and sales activities in German speaking countries, will be of great use. ”

Tim Thurn, President C-RAD Positioning AB:

"There are two major tendencies in the leading edge radiotherapy market, which focuses on increasing dose rates in decreasing treatment slots. The outcome of this is a high demand for 4D monitoring while treatment and the improvement of patient positioning. Using the right tools patients as well as clinics benefit from this development. Therefore the applications individual adoption to the clinical workflows and the highest level of integration in existing radiation therapy systems is important. C-Rad has a very detailed technological know-how to improve the radiotherapy process. My immediate steps are to expand the sales activity in the largest European RT market - the DACH countries as well as to prepare the successful market launch for the new products. In the mid-term I see huge potential to focus the development of the systems on usability and workflow integration. The vision is to have a perfectly interfaced system that covers full patient control before and while treatment."
