The publich tender was launched in July 2022 and included three rounds to choose the companies eligible of providing proton therapy equipment to the Spanish National Health System.
The order includes both RayStation and RayCare at all centers. The combination of RayStation and RayCare, together with an IBA proton therapy machine, provides an integrated and unified solution throughout the complete workflow.
Johan Löf, founder and CEO, RaySearch, says: “We are proud to supply both RayStation and RayCare to this extensive investment in proton therapy in Spain. For RaySearch, this means a further strengthening of our leading position in treatment planning for protons as well as a significant increase of our customer base for RayCare. The fact that all centers will use both RaySearch products will bring many synergies, both in terms of implementation and clinical practice of radiation therapy in Spain.”
