RaySearch Laboratories AB (STO:RAYB) has received an order for its
RayStation® treatment planning system from Hallym University Medical
Center in Seoul, South Korea.
Hallym University Medical Center (HUMC), one of the largest medical
institutions in Korea, consists of six general hospitals: Hallym
University Sacred Heart Hospital, Hallym University Hangang Sacred Heart
Hospital, Hallym University Kangnam Sacred Heart Hospital, Hallym
University Chuncheon Sacred Heart Hospital, Hallym University Dongtan
Sacred Heart Hospital and Hallym University Kangdong Sacred Heart
Hospital. HUMC operates 3,200 patient-beds at its hospitals with 6,000
employees including 500 medical professors.
HUMC will initially use RayStation® as its treatment planning system at
Hallym University Sacred Heart Hospital and Hallym University Dongtan
Sacred Heart Hospital for conventional 3D-CRT treatments, as well as
more advanced treatments, such as IMRT and VMAT. Alongside the treatment
planning and optimization components, the order also encompasses a fully
integrated package of image processing tools such as automated organ
segmentation and image fusion.
"This is the second order from South Korea and the first for treatment
planning for conventional radiation therapy. I think this order is yet
another sign of the interest RayStation® is generating his on all
markets where we are active. We are looking forward to work together
with our distributor OTS to introduce RayStation® as quickly as possible
at Hallym University Medical Center ", says Johan Löf, CEO of RaySearch.
