On the heels of its MIM Software acquisition, GE HealthCare is expanding its radiation therapy collaboration with Elekta, with a focus on enhancing Elekta’s radiation therapy solutions with medical imaging analysis and AI.
The integration is expected to improve clinical workflows, increase throughput, and enhance user experiences, ultimately enabling more precise treatment and reducing hospital time for patients.
“While this is an exciting step for both companies it’s a significant development for radiation therapy clinics and their patients,” said Maurits Wolleswinkel, Elekta’s president, Linac and Software Solutions. “This is a natural expansion of our portfolio, combining our innovative dose planning capabilities with MIM Software's proven track record of physician-preferred tools. Clinically, it means delivering on improved automation and adaptive therapy planning, as well as greater speed and accuracy.”
The collaboration also supports a vendor-agnostic approach, which is particularly beneficial in making advanced solutions accessible globally, regardless of the specific technologies used by different radiation therapy providers. This approach is instrumental in overcoming existing barriers and enhancing the scope and effectiveness of radiation therapy across diverse healthcare settings.
