C-RAD AB with its three fully owned subsidiaries develops new and innovative solutions for the use in advanced radiation therapy. The company has signed a cooperation agreement with Medical Intelligence GmbH, Schwabmunchen, Germany, an Elekta company. The agreement includes both technical and commercial cooperation. Medical Intelligence is a world-leading supplier of advanced and innovative radiation oncology and interventional guidance products for precise and reliable patient positioning and the center of excellence within the Elekta Group for advanced patient positioning and fixation. The agreement includes technical and commercial cooperation in order to introduce an efficient and high quality workflow in the radiation therapy clinic based on the C-RAD SentinelTM laser scanner system and the robotic patient positioning platform. The combined system with its unique solution will, with sub-millimeter precision and highest efficiency, position the patient in six degrees of freedom. This means that the patients position prior to radiation treatment can be precisely adjusted not only in the x, y & z space, but also in the three rotational directions (roll, pitch and yaw). Compared to conventional positioning procedures, deviations in roll and pitch is detected and adjusted automatically. Erik Hedlund, CEO, C-RAD AB: "The agreement with Medical Intelligence and the Elekta Group is a major milestone for C-RAD in developing high precision solutions for use in advanced radiation therapy. As Elekta is one of the major suppliers of solutions in radiation therapy we consider the agreement with Medical Intelligence as a vote of confidence for the C-RAD technology. It is a confirmation of the C-RAD SentinelTM laser scanner concept as a tool for increased accuracy in combination with a high level of efficiency in patient positioning and monitoring procedures."
