Resonant to distribute IGRT system to Amerinet members

Radiotherapy product developer Resonant Medical is collaborating with U.S. group purchasing organization Amerinet for the purchasing of Resonant’s image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) technology, the Clarity System.

Via the terms of the three-year agreement, Amerinet's members will be able to purchase the Clarity System for soft tissue IGRT under the terms of the contract, said Montreal-based Resonant.

In addition, Amerinet is sponsoring a “Target Buy” Program for its member facilities that wish to purchase the system through the end of this month.
