Beyond technology, there’s together. From XiO® planning, MOSAIQ® information efficiency. It’s how the treatment planning system and its management and Clarity™ soft tissue visualization to components, patient positioning and immobilization patient-friendly support equipment and expert devices, and information management technology consultative services, Elekta works with the center work together to create the best possible workflow to build a world-class particle therapy service.

“The Elekta team brings significant expertise in therapy and radiation oncology with their software solution and, more importantly, the associated service. Elekta shares our vision of making the OIS the central hub for the entire therapy workflow, and together we can make this happen. This will provide significant benefits to our physician partners, hospital partners and their patients.”

Niek Schreuder Senior Vice President of Medical Physics & Technology ProCure Treatment Centers “The shared vision and effort of a group of vendors, including Elekta, made the process of creating a center manageable and the outcome a reality. Elekta professionals integrated proton support into our existing IT implementation, allowing us to extend our current chartless environment to the new proton center.”
