Leading US Cancer Center Signs deal to Acquire Multiple Radiotherapy Solutions

By MedImaging International staff writers
Posted on 11 May 2016
A US technology leader in cancer management has signed a deal to acquire four HDR brachytherapy afterloaders, an Oncology Information System (OIS), active breathing coordinator, comprehensive treatment planning software, and service for both hardware and software.

The internationally recognized cancer center provides cancer care at various locations in the US state of Texas, and collaborates with community hospitals and health systems across the US.

The MD Anderson Cancer Center (Houston, Texas, USA) will acquire Elekta’s (Stockholm, Sweden) Infinity comprehensive image-guided radiation therapy system with Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT). The deal includes High-Dose-Rate (HDR) afterloaders, Oncentra Brachy treatment planning, the MOSAIQ OIS, and the Active Breathing Coordinator.

Elekta is a human care company that develops tools and treatment planning systems for radiation therapy, radiosurgery, brachytherapy, and brain disorders, as well as workflow enhancement software for cancer care. Elekta will book the new order in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2015-16.

Bill Yaeger, executive VP, North America region at Elekta, said, “As a world-renowned cancer center, MD Anderson has been a technology leader in managing the disease. In addition to being one of the first U.S. medical centers to acquire Elekta’s new Leksell Gamma Knife Icon brain radiosurgery system, MD Anderson is also part of the consortium to develop the world’s first high-field MR-guided linear accelerator. We are proud that it has chosen us again in the expansion of its facilities in Texas. Both organizations share a commitment to quality and the best care possible for patients.”
