ELEKTA AND NUCLETRON COMBINE FORCES TO MARKET LEADING SOFTWARE 

Press Release 
Stockholm, Sweden, May 18, 2009

Elekta and Nucletron have reached an agreement to market and license Elekta's
software system MOSAIQ®. Nucletron's existing Oncentra® Visir and Oncentra®
Information Management customers will be offered a high-quality solution with
excellent future prospects of continued innovation from the world's largest
supplier of oncology software. 


The business arrangement was reached in response to Nucletron's recent decision
to cease development, sales, and marketing of its Oncentra Visir and Oncentra
Information Management product lines. Nucletron will focus efforts on
innovations in brachytherapy and treatment planning for external beam. 

MOSAIQ is an Oncology Information Management system that features an
image-enabled electronic medical record fully integrated with comprehensive
administrative management functionality that provides workflow automation
designed specifically for the oncology specialty. Supporting multi-vendor,
multi-disciplinary, and multi-site organizations, it unites diverse systems and
ensures that all information about a cancer treatment is easily accessible
throughout the entire treatment process. 

“We look forward to working with Nucletron to deploy MOSAIQ throughout their
installed base with minimal interruption to the cancer centers' normal workflow
routine. This will afford us a deeper understanding of the specific needs of an
increasingly diverse oncology user base, which we will use to create more
optimal informatics and workflow solutions for oncology professionals practicing
in a variety of settings” says Jay Hoey, Executive Vice President of Elekta
Software Systems.  

“The decision to phase-out Oncentra Visir and Oncentra Information Management
will enable us to further increase our efforts to innovate within the areas of
brachytherapy and treatment planning for external beam. With this decision we
enforce our mission and vision and refocus our strengths to live up to the
promise of improving patient care,” says Jos Lamers, Chief Executive Officer of
Nucletron B.V.
