ELEKTA WINS TENDER TO SUPPLY NEW HOSPITAL IN AUSTRIA A WITH COMPREHENSIVE
SOLUTION FOR ADVANCED RADIATION THERAPY

PRESS RELEASE	
Stockholm, Sweden, September 28, 2007

Elekta today announced an order from Vöcklabruck Hospital in the region of Upper
Austria. Valued at approx. EUR 5 M, the 10-year agreement includes supplying a
brand new oncology department with fully digital IMRT and IGRT treatment
systems, as well as software for networking, information management and
treatment planning.

Vöcklabruck Hospital is a newly built facility which has been declared one of
the most modern in Europe. Now in process of opening up a new radiooncology
department, physicians and administrators conducted an in-depth evaluation of
available treatment systems and information management software systems.

Radiation therapy is currently undergoing rapid development. Volumetric (3D)
imaging integrated with the treatment equipment, highly precise patient fixation
and positioning as well as support for smooth workflow, are all necessities for
conducting modern radiation therapy. The ambition of the radiation oncology
staff in Vöcklabruck is to provide the citizens of the region with the best
available treatment for cancer tumors. With experience from other hospitals in
working with equipment from different suppliers, the Vöcklabruck team conducted
a thorough technology evaluation and found Elekta to be the supplier to best
meet their demanding criteria.

At the new radiooncology department, two Elekta Synergy® systems will be
installed in the spring of 2008. Together with these, the hospital will use
MOSAIQ™ electronic medical records developed by IMPAC Medical Systems, patient
fixation and positioning technology developed by Medical Intelligence and
treatment planning software from 3D Line. IMPAC Medical Systems, Medical
Intelligence, and 3D Line are all part of the Elekta Group. Elekta will also
assume responsibility for service and support for a period of 10 years.

“We are proud to enter into this long-term agreement with Vöcklabruck Hospital,
promising high quality treatment for patients in the region”, comments Emil
Hensler, Business Unit Manager for Elekta in Austria. “The result of this tender
process is also a proof of Elekta's success in bringing together advanced
technology from different companies in the Elekta Group into one comprehensive
and attractive offering”, ends Hensler.
