RaySearch Laboratories AB (publ) announced that the longterm collaboration/part partnership with the innovative center EBG MedAustron GmbH in Wiener Neustadt in Austria will be further expanded through a new research agreement. MedAustron is a pioneering center specialized in advanced cancer treatment using protons and carbon ions, which is the most advanced form of radiation therapy. The center is one of only six comparable centers worldwide.

RaySearch and MedAustron have been collaborating since 2012, when MedAustron was RaySearch's first customer for carbon ion therapy treatment planning in RayStation®?. In June 2019, MedAustron decided to replace other existing systems to exclusively use RaySearch software. To make this happen, the development teams at RaySearch and MedAustron cooperated in a unique and close collaboration to adapt both RayCare®?

and RayCommand®? to meet MedAustron's complex requirements, with the treatment control system RayCommand serving as a seamless link between the treatment machine and the treatment planning and oncology information systems. In May 2022, a milestone was reached when MedAustron became the first center in the world to use RayStation, RayCare, and RayCommand together - a combination referred to as RayWorld - to treat patients.
