Elekta

Elekta is a Swedish medical technology and software company that specializes in providing radiation therapy and radiosurgery solutions for cancer treatment. The company was founded in 1972 and has its headquarters in Stockholm, Sweden. Elekta's products and services cover the entire spectrum of cancer care, from diagnosis to treatment planning and delivery. The company operates through several business segments, including Oncology Informatics, Brachytherapy, and Particle Therapy. With a global presence, Elekta serves customers in over 100 countries and is considered one of the world's leading companies in radiation oncology.

One of Elekta's strengths is its focus on innovation and research and development. The company invests heavily in new technologies, such as advanced imaging and precision medicine, to improve cancer care outcomes for patients. For example, Elekta's Unity system combines magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with linear accelerator (LINAC) technology to allow for real-time imaging during radiation therapy. This enables more precise targeting of tumors and minimizes damage to surrounding healthy tissue. In addition, Elekta has partnered with leading hospitals and research institutions to advance the field of radiation oncology through clinical trials and studies.

Beyond its technological advancements, Elekta also strongly emphasizes patient-centric care. The company's patient-centered approach prioritizes individualized treatment plans, access to education and support resources, and open communication between patients, caregivers, and providers.
