RAD Technology Medical Systems Secures Two International
Patents
AVENTURA, Florida, Nov. 23, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- RAD Technology
Medical Systems (RAD) is adding two new patents to its portfolio of
modular building technologies for cancer treatment facilities.
RAD has received patent approvals for their Temporary
Radiotherapy Vault (TRV) from both the Japanese Patent Office and
the European Patent Office. These new patents protect the
specialized means and methods that RAD uses to construct high
energy radiation vaults. RAD was issued two similar patents by the
United States Patent Office last year.

"As the demand for radiotherapy continues to grow worldwide, RAD
is pleased to be able to bring their patented technology to help
cancer patients in Europe and
Japan" states RAD's President,
John Lefkus. "Hospitals and
cancer clinics constantly need to upgrade equipment in order to
take full advantage of the latest developments in cancer therapy
and provide the best available form of treatment. Our TRV
provides a treatment machine in a temporary facility which enables
organizations to continue treating patients while modernizing their
program with no interruption to patient treatments or business.
The temporary facility can arrive onsite and be ready for
occupancy in just weeks."
The RAD modular methodology is driven by three key values;
- Time: The facility solutions offered by the RAD PRO
can be delivered in one third the time of traditional construction
methods. By using offsite construction, we are able to
provide an unprecedented approach that is efficient and flexible.
This impacts patient accessibility to the latest care and
gives institutions a hedge over competitors looking to enter their
market. RAD can install its TRV cancer facility and perform a
radiation survey with its pre-commissioned linac in just 5
days.
- Technology: The modular technology also provides
significant value and flexibility. In traditional
construction, the shielding solution is cast into the concrete
structure or concrete blocks. RAD offers a shielding method
that can be modified without the cost and disruption of expensive
lead and high density block solutions. And the ultimate
flexibility is moving the entire facility to another location at a
fractional cost if demand or market conditions change.
- Unique Financing: One of the most distinctive
values is the financing approach RADs solutions offer. The
modular system transforms the financing opportunities
significantly. A recoverable asset, without destructive
demolition, can be treated as equipment or tangible personal
property allowing operational leases or service contracts to be
structured for large institutions not seeking to deploy capital or
wishing to avoid further impairment of their balance sheets with
additional debt.
RAD continues to implement this "New Normal" in radiotherapy
equipment upgrades on the international stage. Cancer centers
which were previously paralyzed by the lack of an interim solution
will now be free to plan their advancements to the next generation
of radiotherapy devices as the technology develops, rather than
skipping whole generations of advancements as is now too often the
case. As stated by Kenneth
Wright, RAD Technology's Director of TRV Services,
"The simple truth is that cancer centers should not be
required to stop providing radiotherapy services
to the community in order to improve services to
the community."
Institutions in Europe are
primarily state sponsored and while closing down for several months
may not let the competition in, it deprives citizens of timely and
perhaps lifesaving cancer treatment. With the NHS England recent
announcement to spend £130m over the next couple years to upgrade
accelerators, the availability of TRV can assist many centres with
that process. RAD has been successful in the United States with the TRV technology and
leasing and now looks to continue that success in Japan and Europe.
