BARCELONA, April 22, 2015 /ESTRO Booth #400 – At the 3rd ESTRO Forum, April 24
-28, at the Centre de Convencions Internacional de Barcelona, Elekta will
showcase Elekta Radiosurgery Solutions – comprising the complementary
technologies of Leksell Gamma Knife® radiosurgery system and Versa HD™ radiation
therapy system (http://www.versahd.com/) – in addition to products that support
the company’s Information-guided cancer care™ (http://www.elekta.com/information
-guided) vision.

Elekta Radiosurgery Solutions
Elekta’s dedication to radiosurgery reaches back more than 70 years, when the
company’s founder, Professor Lars Leksell, invented the first stereotactic
neurosurgical system for intracranial pathologies. His ongoing commitment to
provide a dedicated radiosurgical solution for treating intracranial targets
resulted in the introduction of Leksell Gamma Knife. Elekta has followed
Professor Leksell’s tradition by developing radiosurgical solutions that are
based on each patient’s unique needs – their diagnosis, their disease stage and
even their genetic makeup.

Elekta Radiosurgery Solutions provide this kind of personalized treatment – two
systems each designed for a different high-precision treatment approach, so
clinics can employ the systems most suited to their clinical and workflow
requirements. In this way, health care providers can ensure that patients
receive personalized treatment for their individual pathology and circumstances,
while at the same time increasing effectiveness and efficiency.

On April 25 at 10:14, (booth #400), Elekta will unveil the next-generation
radiosurgery solution, representing the new standard in radiosurgery.

Information-guided cancer care
As software continues to play a critical role in cancer care, Elekta will share
its vision of Information-guided cancer care, designed to transform how patients
receive care, by empowering physicians to connect with the information they need
to treat patients more effectively. In support of Information-guided cancer
care, Elekta will demonstrate:

  · Healthcare Analytics (http://www.elekta.com/healthcareanalytics): An Elekta
Knowledge Management solution that will enable physicians to harness the vast
amount of data available in the health care enterprise.

  · Monaco® treatment planning (http://www.elekta.com/monaco): The latest
