Elekta to Demonstrate Advanced Solutions for Managing Cancer Safely and Effectively at ESTRO 2011

New RFID product emphasizes safety via accurate monitoring of patients and equipment

LONDON, May 5, 2011 - At the 2011 European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology
(ESTRO) exhibition, 8-12 May at the ExCel Centre in London, Elekta will
demonstrate advanced solutions that provide clinicians with the tools to save
and improve lives of cancer patients worldwide. This includes Elekta's new
RFID system, Identify*, which is designed to increase staff confidence in the
integrity of patient identification and set up.

Identify harnesses precision radiofrequency identification technology and
will ensure the right patient is being treated at the right location and with
the correct set up and equipment. Identify will feature complete integration
with Elekta's MOSAIQ(R) Oncology Information System, enabling patient
queuing, selection of patient details in monitoring of set-up position,
optimizing workflow and enhancing safety. Identify will be a scalable
solution - from the treatment room to the entire department - allowing
centers to grow as needs change.

"Elekta has spent decades continually improving our radiation oncology
solution, based significantly on customer input and collaboration," says Olof
Sanden, Executive Vice President, Europe and AFLAME. "The result has been
products that combine increasing technological capabilities with easier, more
confident use. The addition of Identify to our portfolio will address the
desire of our customers to confidently use the most advanced therapies while
also ensuring that these treatments are as safe as possible."
