“We are excited about the decision and the opportunity for C-RAD to work with this high-profiled cancer center in China. The fact that a major cancer center in China now decided to adopt our SIGRT solution confirms our firm belief, that the C-RAD technology is on its way to become a true standard of care in advanced radiation therapy”, says Tim Thurn, CEO of C-RAD.

C-RAD offers a specific version of its Catalyst System for use in proton and particle therapy – the Catalyst PT, based on the patented Catalyst technology and software. The system allows a seamless integration to support the clinical workflow by improving patient positioning accuracy and operational efficiency.

Kurt Wang, President C-RAD China, says “This is an important milestone for C-RAD in China. I am so enthusiastic to work with the team at SPHIC and to build up a clinical training center for other proton customers. The cooperation will promote the C-RAD SIGRT solution to become standard of care also for proton treatments. I believe together with the SPHIC team C-RAD can make a difference for the society and especially for the patients that will benefit from the treatments at this site.”

It is the objective to develop the site to become a reference site for C-RAD and to be able to show the potential of the technology within high precision radiation therapy.

The installation is expected to take place before the end of this year.
