Strategic collaboration to develop advanced vendor-agnostic radiation oncology treatment applications using industry-leading auto-contouring and treatment planning software solutions
STOCKHOLM – Elekta (EKTA-B.ST) and MIM Software Inc. (MIM), a leading provider of medical imaging management and artificial intelligence solutions, recently acquired by GE HealthCare, announce their collaboration to combine best-of-breed solutions for advanced treatment planning in the delivery of radiation therapy.
The strategic collaboration aims to accelerate innovation in software solutions that will benefit clinics with improved workflows, higher throughput, and enhanced user experience, while for patients, provide greater precision in their treatment and less time spent at the hospital.
Maurits Wolleswinkel, Elekta’s President Linac and Software Solutions, said: “While this is an exciting step for both companies it’s a significant development for radiation therapy clinics and their patients. This is a natural expansion of Elekta ONE, combining the best dose planning capabilities with MIM'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. And our vendor-agnostic philosophy ensures that all radiation therapy providers stand to gain from this collaboration.”
The collaboration is expected to spur innovation within treatment planning and utilize Elekta’s and MIM Software’s respective strengths in regional markets to make solutions available globally.
Andrew Nelson, CEO of MIM Software, GE HealthCare, added “Since its beginning in 2003, MIM has played a key role in advancing precision medicine in radiation oncology.”
Jonathan Piper, Chief Scientific Officer of MIM Software, GE HealthCare said: “We’ve listened to overwhelming customer requests for treatment planning software and proudly announce that we’ve risen to the challenge. This is a pivotal step towards streamlining clinical workflows, unlocking precision medicine, and expanding our impact on clinicians and patients worldwide.”
