CLEVELAND, Sept. 12, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- ViewRay, Inc.
(NASDAQ: VRAY) announced today that Stanford Health Care in
Stanford, California, will acquire
a MRIdian, the world's leading MR-guided radiation therapy
system.
MRIdian integrates MRI technology, radiation delivery, and
proprietary software to locate, target, and track soft-tissue and
tumors. These capabilities allow MRIdian to deliver accurate doses
of radiation to the tumor while protecting nearby healthy tissues
and vulnerable structures, enabling personalized, non-invasive
treatment. The use of MRIdian is associated with improved patient
outcomes, shorter treatment durations, and reduced
treatment-related side effects.
Stanford Health Care is internationally renowned for its
expertise in cancer treatment and translating important medical
breakthroughs into patient care. As a leading academic medical
center, Stanford Health Care provides state-of-the-art technologies
and treatments to help advance care and improve outcomes for
patients.
"We are proud to announce our strategic agreement with Stanford
Health Care," said Jim Alecxih,
Chief Commercial Officer at ViewRay. "We will bring the benefits of
the MRIdian system to one of the most innovative centers in the
world. We look forward to the impact that MRIdian will make in
improving the lives of cancer patients."
About ViewRay
ViewRay®, Inc. (Nasdaq:
VRAY), designs, manufactures, and markets the MRIdian®
radiation therapy system. MRIdian is built upon a proprietary
high-definition MR imaging system designed from the ground up to
address the unique challenges and clinical workflow for advanced
radiation oncology. Unlike MR systems used in diagnostic radiology,
MRIdian's high-definition MR was purposely built to deliver
high-precision radiation without
unnecessary beam distortion, and consequently, help to
mitigate skin toxicity and other safety concerns that may otherwise
arise when high magnetic fields interact with radiation beams.
