Elekta takes Monaco 5 order from Down Under

Radiation oncology firm Elekta has taken an order for its Monaco 5 radiation therapy treatment planning system from Oceania Oncology in Australia.

Staff members at Oceania's clinics in Maroochydore (Sunshine Coast) and Bundaberg began training on Monaco 5 in early December, and they anticipate using the system clinically by mid-January.

Oceania Oncology has also installed an Elekta Synergy linear accelerator with an Agility multileaf collimator at its Bundaberg site, in addition to migrating to Elekta's Mosaiq oncology information system.
