Radiation Therapy Market Changes as Vendors Vie for Mindshare

KLAS compares radiation therapy vendor solutions and examines why some are gaining ground on traditional market leaders.



The traditional leaders are starting to recognize their own gaps and fight back the tide of challengers.

    OREM, UT, September 10, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Elekta has made significant inroads into the radiation therapy market and is competing for provider mindshare against traditional leaders in the space. This and other key findings are being released in KLAS' 2014 radiation therapy report.

The new study also compares critical value propositions by vendors, particularly the downtime that providers experience using different systems, and further assesses cost and functionality.

"There are some rising contenders in this space," said report author Monique Rasband. "That said, there are still some hurdles these vendors have to overcome. But the traditional leaders are starting to recognize their own gaps and fight back the tide of challengers."

For this report, KLAS interviewed providers using Accuray, Varian, Elekta and Philips products.
