RayStation selected for Charing Cross Hospital and Hammersmith Hospital in London
Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust in London, UK, has chosen RayStation as the sole treatment planning system for two sites in London: Charing Cross Hospital and Hammersmith Hospital. RayStation was selected as the best solution following a thorough evaluation of all potential treatment planning systems on the market.
The Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust operates five hospitals in London, plus a range of community health services. Its radiation therapy services are provided at Charing Cross Hospital and Hammersmith Hospital. RayStation will replace two different treatment planning systems currently in use at the hospitals.
The two hospitals will use RayStation for all radiation therapy treatment planning activities, as well as all pre-treatment virtual simulation. RayStation will replace the hospitals’ current standalone system for virtual simulation. The purchase comprises a broad range of functionality, including 3D-CRT, IMRT, VMAT, multi-criteria optimization, automated breast planning and adaptive planning.
Johan Löf, CEO of RaySearch, says: “We are very pleased to support the needs of these two leading London hospitals. The aim with RayStation is to provide the most comprehensive functionality. This makes it possible for clinics to consolidate multiple systems, increase efficiency and reduce the need for staff training. We look forward to a successful partnership.”
