Ryhov County Hospital in Sweden acquires four C-RAD Systems

C-RAD has secured an order for three Catalyst HD™ systems and one Sentinel 4DCT™ system from Ryhov County Hospital in Jönköping, Sweden. The order has a total value of 5.2 MSEK.

The Catalyst HD™ will be delivered with the complete software configuration containing modules for Respiratory Gating, Patient Setup and Positioning, and Motion Monitoring, as well as interfaces to the CT and the Varian TrueBeam® linear accelerator. The customer also selected C-RAD’s unique audio-visual couching functionality, which supports an interactive gating mode. Delivery and installation of the order is scheduled for August, 2016.

The Catalyst HD™ and Sentinel™ systems enable the high-end treatment techniques within radiation therapy that are increasingly common. With this dual solution C-RAD supports the whole 4D treatment chain from imaging to treatment 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.

“It is a great pleasure to welcome the cancer center at Ryhov County Hospital to the fast-growing group of C-RAD customers,” says Tim Thurn, CEO of C-RAD. “Catalyst HD was developed specifically for the fast-growing segment of Stereotactic Radiation Therapy (SBRT) and Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS), but at the same time Catalyst HD provides the proven advantages of the Catalyst system for treating breast cancer patients, as well as patients with other indications. In this way, the clinic can utilize the full range of advantages of surface tracking technology.”
