During ASTRO, Elekta featured two solutions in particular that exemplify our focus on managing complexity: Clarity® with Autoscan* real-time soft tissue tracking and Identify™* radiofrequency identification (RFID) based solution. View the six minute demonstration by clicking on the banner.

  • Elekta welcomed Nucletron to the family. The acquisition agreement between Elekta and brachytherapy world leader, Nucletron, broadens Elekta’s product offering for patients with cervical, prostate, breast and rectal cancers.
  • For the first year, the Medical Oncology Summit was held in conjunction with the Elekta Oncology Users Meeting.
  • Following the Users Meeting, the Third Annual Charity Bash was held, raising USD 53,000 for the Sandy B. Muller Breast Cancer Foundation.
  • Elekta presented how innovation and product development, as well as increased presence in fast growing emerging markets are the cornerstones of our growth strategy at the Investors Meeting during ASTRO.

  • Elekta welcomes Nucletron. The acquisition agreement between Elekta and brachytherapy world leader, Nucletron, broadens Elekta’s product offering for patients with cervical, prostate, breast and rectal cancers. The resulting combination of products is particularly important as the combination of brachytherapy and external beam radiation therapy treatments continues to emerge as a common therapy for certain diseases.
