Enloe Medical Center Becomes First Community Hospital in Northern California to Purchase a MRIdian MRI-Guided Radiation Therapy System

CLEVELAND, March 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- ViewRay, Inc. (Nasdaq: VRAY) announced today that Enloe Medical Center – an independent, nonprofit hospital in Chico, California– has entered into a master agreement for the purchase of a MRIdian MRI-guided radiation therapy system. Upon installation, Enloe Medical Center will become the first community hospital in Northern California to offer MRIdian treatments.

Enloe Medical Center is affiliated with the UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center, an affiliation aimed at enhancing care and improving access to medical experts and high-quality, specialty treatment for residents throughout the region. Enloe's program integrates all facets of cancer care in a patient-centered environment using leading-edge technologies.

MRIdian fits Enloe Medical Center's patient-centered approach by helping clinicians more precisely deliver radiation to tumors while avoiding surrounding tissues and organs. MRIdian allows for continuous imaging during the delivery of radiation therapy, enabling clinicians to directly view and track the tumor during treatment.

"As Enloe Medical Center looks towards the future of cancer services for the communities we serve, we wanted to align ourselves with a technology platform and a company that will partner with our organizational mission," said Brady Haynes, Chief Operations Officer at Enloe Medical Center. "After a twelve-month process, we have decided that company is ViewRay and the technology selection is the MRIdian Linac System."  

"The purchase of a MRIdian system for Enloe Medical Center supports the hospital's mission to improve quality of life through patient-centered care," said Paul Ziegler, Senior Vice President of Global Sales and Marketing at ViewRay. "We are pleased that they are taking this exciting step forward in bringing the benefits of MRI-guided radiation therapy to their patients."

Currently 34 MRIdian systems are installed at hospitals around the world, where they are being used to treat a wide variety of solid tumors and are the focus of numerous ongoing research efforts. MRIdian has been the subject of hundreds of peer-reviewed publications, scientific meeting abstracts and presentations. More than 8,000 patients have been treated with MRIdian.
