Elekta opens state-of-the-art radiotherapy training center in Beijing

Learning and Innovation Center to address radiation therapy training needs
STOCKHOLM, November 25 – Today, Chinese government officials, key Elekta
radiotherapy customers in China and members of Elekta’s senior management
inaugurated Elekta’s Learning and Innovation Center (LINC) in Beijing. The three
-story, 1,800sq m (19,375sq ft) education and training facility is equipped with
Elekta radiation therapy systems and classrooms to educate oncology and
neuroscience professionals as well as Elekta employees on the use of advanced
radiotherapy solutions and workflows.

“Elekta is committed to customer education and training, a priority of all of
our users worldwide,” says Gilbert Wai, Executive Vice President, Elekta Asia
Pacific, who joined Elekta President and CEO, Tomas Puusepp, at the ribbon
cutting ceremony. “A center such as the Beijing LINC is urgently needed in Asia
Pacific as the region rapidly grows its radiation therapy capacity. It will be
of great importance for physicians, physicists, therapists, service engineers,
dosimetrists and application specialists in this region.”

Elekta opened its first LINC in its North American headquarters in Atlanta,
Georgia during the 2013 American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) meeting
in September.

Fully equipped with comprehensive Elekta solutions
Like its North American counterpart, the Beijing LINC is equipped with an
impressive array of Elekta solutions. A demonstration room on the ground floor
will display several systems, including full-sized Elekta Axesse™ and Elekta
Compact™ linear accelerators and accessories, such as Active Breathing
Coordinator™ and immobilization devices. It will also comprise brachytherapy
solutions, including an afterloader and applicators, and Elekta neuroscience
solutions, such as Leksell Stereotactic System®, as well as Elekta software
solution suites of Monaco® and a complete MOSAIQ® workflow solution.

“Two basement bunkers are dedicated for training on Elekta Synergy® and Elekta
Compact linear accelerators,” Wai notes. “Together with a training lab, these
systems enable trainees to have a hands-on experience with our equipment. In
addition, the LINC’s upper floor houses six classrooms for hardware or software
training for both Elekta employees and customers.”

Besides Elekta product training, the Beijing LINC also will cooperate with local
clinical partners and universities to deliver customized and innovative training
programs for radiotherapy professionals and students.

The Beijing LINC further strengthens Elekta’s commitment in China, including its
recent acquisition of 100 percent ownership in its R&D and manufacturing entity,
formerly known as EBMEI. The renamed Elekta Beijing Medical Systems Co, Ltd
(EBMS) has played an essential part in Elekta’s emerging market strategy.
