Radiation oncology firm Elekta of Stockholm has completed its first-ever order in New Zealand.
Auckland Radiation Oncology (ARO) has purchased a new Elekta Synergy system with Mosaiq electronic medical record and Elekta volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT). The intensity-modulated radiation therapy device is scheduled for delivery this month.
VMAT's cancer treatment technology is designed to simultaneously control the position and speed of the linear accelerator gantry, the multileaf collimator, and the dose rate, enabling highly conformal radiation doses to be delivered to a tumor target site and sparing surrounding healthy tissue.
