About RaySearch
RaySearch’s business concept is to provide innovative software to
radiation therapy clinics for more effective radiation treatment of
cancer. RaySearch, a spin-off from Karolinska Institutet, was formed in
2000. Through a licensing agreement with Philips, the company’s first
product, p-RayOptimizer, has to date been sold to over 1,000 hospitals
internationally and more than 100,000 patients have received improved
radiation therapy. A licensing agreement was signed with Nucletron at
the beginning of 2004 and deliveries of the first product based on this
partnership, n-RayOptimizer, began in April 2005. In February 2006 an
agreement was signed with Scanditronix-Wellhöfer regarding development
of products for improved quality assurance of IMRT. In October 2006,
RaySearch signed an agreement with Philips covering the development of
products in adaptive radiation therapy. In November 2006 RaySearch
signed a development and license agreement with Nucletron regarding
treatment planning for proton therapy in cancer treatment. In May 2007
RaySearch signed a long-term collaboration agreement with Varian Medical
Systems to develop advanced radiotherapy treatment planning. An
agreement was signed with TomoTherapy in August 2007 regarding two
products aimed to simplify the treatment process for clinics with both
conventional linacs and TomoTherapy systems.
