Swedish oncology firm Elekta has received contracts to install its radiotherapy systems at three hospitals in Sweden and Estonia, the Stockholm-based company announced.
Uppsala University Hospital and Lund University Hospital in Sweden and Tartu University Hospital in Estonia will install Elekta Synergy systems and begin treating patients with Elekta VMAT (volumetric-modulated arc therapy), a new treatment technology that offers shortened treatment times.
Tartu University Hospital in Estonia will receive the new equipment immediately; University Hospital will begin treating patients with Elekta VMAT in the fall of 2009; and Lund University Hospital is planning to install the system in 2010, Elekta said.
