First RayStation® order in the United Kingdom


RaySearch Laboratories AB (publ.) has been awarded a contract to supply its
RayStation® treatment planning system (TPS) to Tayside Cancer Centre, Ninewells
Hospital & Medical School in Dundee, UK. Ninewells will be the first clinical
installation of RayStation® in the United Kingdom.
Ninewells Hospital & Medical School is one of the largest teaching hospitals in
Europe. It has a comprehensive regional cancer centre serving the Tayside region
of Scotland. The centre offers all forms of cancer therapy and treats
approximately 1400 new cancer patients annually. The radiotherapy department at
Ninewells will replace its current TPS with RayStation®, as its treatment
planning system for conventional 3D-CRT treatments, as well as more advanced
treatments, such as IMRT and VMAT.

The order includes sophisticated solutions, such as multi-criteria optimization,
enabling a more efficient treatment planning process. Multi-criteria
optimization is a highly intuitive tool that lets the clinician evaluate the
impact of changing different treatment priorities in real-time, which has a
large potential to speed up the time-consuming plan optimization process. The
radiotherapy department at Ninewells Hospital will also implement dose tracking
and adaptive planning using the dedicated tools available in RayStation, as well
as investigating biological optimization and evaluation.

“NHS Tayside made the decision to purchase RayStation® following a comprehensive
NHS Scotland procurement and evaluation process. The process took into
consideration TPS generic specifications, site specific requirements by Tayside
Cancer Centre and the benefits the system will bring to the centre over and
above the competing systems. We look forward to working with the RaySearch team
to produce the best possible treatment plans for patients”, says Salam Souliman,
Head of RT Physics at Ninewells Hospital.

“The UK is a highly important market for us. We established our UK sales and
service office in the second half of 2013 and this has already resulted in the
first customer order. Ninewells is an excellent clinic and we are of course
thrilled that they have now become our first UK customer”, says Johan Löf CEO of
RaySearch.
