RaySearch Laboratories publ : University of Arizona Radiation Oncology (Tucson) selects RayStation

The Department of Radiation Oncology at the University of Arizona and Banner Health has purchased RayStation®, which will become the primary clinical radiation therapy treatment planning system at both the Main Campus location and the Orange Grove Campus facility.

RayStation will be used for all external beam treatment planning at the University of Arizona. It was purchased in part to support the new expansion to the University of Arizona Cancer Center at the North Campus location, which will be completed in the fall of 2017. This 20,000-square-foot expansion will house a radiation oncology facility with state-of-the-art precision technology, including the new RayStation treatment planning system.

Baldassarre Stea, MD PhD, Professor and Department Head of Radiation Oncology, says : 'Our goal is to build a comprehensive facility that provides advanced technologies for our patients at every level. We believe that the choices we have made will help us achieve our vision of providing this highest quality of care. As the only NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center in the State of Arizona, we wanted to select a treatment planning system that offered cutting-edge tools and the ability to support research and clinical trials. We look forward to working with RaySearch.'

Johan Löf, CEO of RaySearch, says: 'This is an exciting partnership with great potential. The University of Arizona has an ambition to provide the highest level of care through advanced technology, and RayStation supports the latest techniques across the spectrum of treatment delivery machines. We are well positioned to meet the university's treatment planning needs into the future.'
