Press release 2008-10-07 

First test results confirm C-RAD's GEMiniTM
imaging system design. 

C-RAD AB with its three fully owned subsidiaries
develops new and innovative
solutions for the use in advanced radiation
therapy. After a successful system
integration phase the first system tests
have now been performed using a 40cm x
40cm GEMiniTM image panel. The test
results show that the technical
functionality meets the system specification.

The GEMiniTM family of image detector panels is primarily designed for use
in
radiation therapy but the panels can also be used in industrial
radiography
systems. The market potential for C-RAD Imaging's products exceeds
150 MUSD.
GEMiniTM products represent world class performance and comprise
state of the
art technology including new unique patented inventions. These
new inventions
enable superior image quality combined with lower cost of
ownership. 
The first model to be released is GEMiniTM ED, which is optimized
for use in
high energy photon radiation applications (MeV) such as EPIDs
(Electronic
Portal Imaging Devices). With its higher detection efficiency and
expected long
life length it is an attractive alternative for the competitor
systems
currently available on the market. 
The initial internal tests have
been successful with results fully proving the
technical design. At the end of
October a GEMiniTM ED system will be placed at
the University Hospital in
Lund, where image quality tests will be performed. 
The GEMiniTM system has
raised a very high interest among all major actors on
the market. Several
customer demonstrations are planned to take place in Lund
during the next
coming months. 

Erik Hedlund, CEO, C-RAD AB:
"These results from the first
full scale 40 cm x 40 cm system now encourages us
to promptly start up the
testing in a clinical environment. C-RAD Imaging and
the Radiation Physics
department at Lund University Hospital are looking
forward to enter into this
testing and demonstration phase. 
We at C-RAD are also very pleased with the
response and interest shown by our
collaboration partners and potential
customers. They are now eagerly waiting
for the image quality results from the
Lund test activities”
