Dartmouth-Hitchcock Health Begins Patient Treatments with ViewRay's MRIdian Linac
Brings Benefits of MRI-Guided Radiation Therapy Closer to Home for Cancer Patients in New England
Dartmouth-Hitchcock Health is a non-profit academic health system primarily serving New Hampshire and Vermont as well as patients from across New England. As the largest health care system and employer in New Hampshire, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Health is committed to providing the highest quality of care to the nearly two million community members it serves. The addition of MRIdian brings cutting-edge MRI-guided radiation therapy closer to home for patients throughout the region and opens entirely new opportunities for research and clinical applications.
"We welcome Dartmouth-Hitchcock Health to the family of hospitals around the world now offering MRIdian MRI-guided radiation therapy," said Paul Ziegler, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing at ViewRay. "The ability to deliver a non-invasive cancer treatment in as few as one to five treatment sessions is more important now than ever, and we are pleased to see more patients gain access to these benefits through MRIdian."
Currently 38 MRIdian systems are installed at hospitals around the world, where they are used to treat a wide variety of solid tumors and are the focus of numerous ongoing research efforts. MRIdian has been the subject of hundreds of peer-reviewed publications, scientific meeting abstracts and presentations. More than 9,000 patients have been treated with MRIdian.

ViewRay, Inc. (Nasdaq: VRAY), designs, manufactures and markets the MRIdian® radiation therapy system. MRIdian is built upon a proprietary high-definition MR imaging system designed from the ground up to address the unique challenges and clinical workflow for advanced radiation oncology. Unlike MR systems used in diagnostic radiology, MRIdian's high-definition MR was purpose built to address specific challenges, including beam distortion, skin toxicity, and other concerns that potentially may arise when high magnetic fields interact with radiation beams.
