At the Congress's Global Village, Elekta will share its products and insights at its exhibit, which will feature three of its industry leading solutions for advanced radiation therapy:
MOSAIQ® Oncology Information System puts the patient at the center of the cancer care universe by enabling real-time data access that centralizes the patient's electronic medical record (EMR). MOSAIQ facilitates coordination of the treatment process from referral to therapy and beyond. Quebec's Centre de Sante et de Services Sociaux de Laval selected MOSAIQ for both the radiation oncology and medical oncology departments at its new cancer facility, Centre Integre de Cancerologie de Laval, which opened earlier this year.
Clarity soft tissue visualization software, a non-invasive technology for image-guided radiation therapy that avoids adding any imaging dose or requiring surgically implanted markers.
