C-RAD AB with its three fully owned subsidiaries is active in the field
of
radiation therapy. The first version of the unique image detector GEMini ED
has
been released. Technical specifications have been achieved. Evaluation
programs
with potential customers are starting up. 

The C-RAD GEMini system
is based on technology originally developed at CERN in
Switzerland. The
technology has been further developed by Professor Anders
Brahme and his group
at Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm for use in the
medical field. C-RAD is,
in order to protect the technology, holding three
patents. 

C-RAD Imaging
responsible for the development and manufacturing of GEMini is
located at
Frösön outside of Östersund in Northern Sweden. After five years of
hard and
innovative work, objectives have been achieved. The C-RAD Imaging
group is
today in the front regarding image detector technology based on so
called Gas
Electron Multipliers and has acquired unique competences for use in
radiation
therapy and diagnostics. 

The first detector, the so called GEMini ED, is
especially designed for use in
radiation therapy with high energies. The
GEMini ED has a size of 40 cm x 40 cm
with almost 1 000 000 detector elements.
The GEM technology offers unique
features such as high contrast, fast read
out, radiation resistant design and a
wide range of energies.

Erik
Hedlund, CEO, C-RAD AB:

"Five years of hard work has come to a success. The
C-RAD Imaging group had to
pass many obstacles during the project. With great
creativity they could be
solved. The first version, GEMini ED is now ready to
be launched. We are now
excited to see the first results with partners end
users.”
