Elekta and Philips establish research consortium to leverage a breakthrough in cancer care with integration of a Linear Accelerator and MR Imaging
Bericht
Elekta AB (NSE: EKTAb) and Royal Philips Electronics (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA) today announced that they will expand a joint program to develop a breakthrough in cancer care with an imaging-treatment platform that merges radiation therapy and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology in a single treatment system. The program for development will include a research consortium of leading radiation oncology centers and clinicians, which today includes the University Medical Center Utrecht (the Netherlands). The establishment of the consortium marks the next step in the collaboration between Elekta, a pioneer in neurosurgery and radiation therapy systems and Philips, a leader in medical imaging systems. The consortium’s mission will be to merge precision radiation delivery with MRI in a single MRI-guided radiation therapy system*. This will enable doctors to achieve exceptional soft tissue imaging during radiation therapy and to adapt treatment delivery in real-time for extremely precise cancer treatments.
