Elekta booth with the robotic couch Hexapod Evo.
The annual physicist meeting AAPM in the US is one of the major events in
radiation therapy. The main focus for C-RAD this year was to introduce new
software functionality for respiratory gating and to present the GEMini ED
system. Both systems are FDA- pending. The meeting was a success. Compared to
last year´s meeting number of leads doubled. Both the ROS representative and the
new C-RAD sales manager in the US were busy in demonstrating the unique features
of the Sentinel system. New orders for the Sentinel system were signed.
This important meeting is also offering an opportunity to meet partners and
representatives. Both technical and commercial discussions took place to
integrate the C-RAD systems with the systems of the main vendors in radiation
therapy.
