Seattle cancer center chooses Philips CT & radiation oncology systems

Philips Healthcare has landed a series of CT and radiation oncology planning system installs at the Swedish Cancer Institute in Seattle.

Andover, Mass.-based Philips will provide the Swedish Cancer Institute with four 85-cm Brilliance CT Big Bore systems as well as Pinnacle Smart Enterprise radiation oncology treatment planning tools, the company stated.
