radiation therapy. According to plan has now the Sentinel laser scanner been
certified for use in Japan and introduction to Japanese market was done at the
annual ITEM meeting in Yokohama, Japan, recently. The first ordered Sentinel

The Japanese radiotherapy market is highly interesting with large number of
clinics and a high degree of advanced radiation procedures. In accordance with
the strategy of C-RAD to establish a firm presence in selected important

approval to sell and use the Sentinel laser scanner system in Japan was
received earlier this year. Following this certification approval C-RAD

The ITEM congress is one of the most important events in Japan and attracts
interest and participation from the radiotherapy society of Japan. C-RAD
exhibited together with our distributor for Japan, Advanced Radiation Devices,
the unique laser scanner system Sentinel. The Sentinel offers improved accuracy
in combination with increased efficiency in radiation treatments and the
exhibition with demonstrations of the products capability attracted lots of
interest from the participants. 

With the certification approval in place and the launch of the product at ITEM
an important milestone for C-RAD has been taken. These events are now followed
by intensive marketing and sale activities in Japan.
