Elekta receives EU clearance for cancer imaging treatment

Elekta has received the CE mark for its digital imaging system, iView, for use with Elekta Compact, its linear accelerator for radiation therapy.

The imaging system uses charge couple device camera technology to offer images that verify the patient is in the correct position at the time of treatment. In addition, iView also can record imaging dose as part of the treatment dose, said the Stockholm-based company.

The new technology shows early potential to make a significant impact on imaging workflows and patient care.

The two companies aim to improve patient access to high-quality MRI scans by combining their artificial intelligence capabilities.
