Montérégie Integrated Cancer Center (CICM), which is part of the Charles-Le Moyne hospital in Longueuil in Quebec in Canada, has placed an order for additional RayStation licenses as well as upgrades to the system which includes advanced treatment planning functionality.
RaySearch has a strong position in the radiotherapy market in Canada with a market share of approximately 25 percent. Charles-Le Moyne hospital has been a RayStation®* customer since 2018.

Further, the clinic has added new and advanced technology to the order, including multi-criteria optimization, dose tracking, adaptive planning and TomoTherapy planning.
Johan Löf, founder and CEO, RaySearch, says: “RaySearch is always pleased when a customer has experienced our products and services, and then chooses to expand their utilization based on that success. We appreciate their trust in us, as well as their dedication to their patients, and expect that our excellent relationship with the team at Charles-Le Moyne will continue for many years.”
