STOCKHOLM, Sept. 30, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- C-RAD announced today that multiple sites in the state of New South Wales, Australia decided to implement C-RAD's Catalyst+ HD™ and Sentinel 4DCT™ solution.
In total four sites in the state of New South Wales of are going to be equipped with the C-RAD solution over the next months.
The Catalyst+ HD™ system is delivered with the complete software suite with modules for Respiratory Gating, Patient Setup and Positioning and Motion Monitoring. The C-RAD SIGRT solution provides a continuous monitoring of the patient during a treatment fraction. Patient motion above a clinically defined threshold will interrupt the treatment beam.
C-RAD Sentinel 4DCT is an easy-to-use, laser-based optical surface scanning system with functionality for four-dimensional CT image reconstruction and gated imaging in a CT room.
Jason Beirne, Managing Director of Gamma Gurus, comments:
"Surface guided motion management in radiation therapy is rapidly becoming standard of care and we are very excited to be part of this large-scale roll-out in the New South Wales health system. Soon more patients across the state will benefit from highly accurate motion and respiratory tracking that will enhance their overall level of care. We are also very proud to be partnered with C-RAD whose innovative products lead the way in Surface Guidance."
C-RAD is partnering with the company Gamma Gurus in Australia. Gamma Gurus is a distribution company.
"I am proud to see that the customers have chosen C-RAD and Gamma Gurus as a partner for the surface tracking solution. We are looking forward to support the clinical implementation and to provide the benefits that the technology offers to users and patients in New South Wales." says Tim Thurn, CEO and President of C-RAD AB. "The adaption of motion management is rapidly increasing in Australia but also globally. Depending on the clinical profile of a given radiation therapy center, 70% of the patients that receive radiation therapy benefit from our solutions.
