The result of cooperation between Pi Medical and University of Texas Health Science Center on biologically-based optimization, has been accepted for presentation as an oral communication in ESTRO 29, to be held in Barcelona, Spain from 12-16 September 2010.

Nucletron launched a new informational web site for patients and healthcare practitioners, www.aboutbrachytherapy.com .

The results of a study on the application of inverse planning technology for cervical cancer brachytherapy were publlished in Radiotherapy and Oncology entitled: " New inverse planning technology for image-guided cervical cancer brachytherapy: Description and evaluation within a clinical frame ".

In September 2009, the Docrates Clinic in Helsinki treated its first prostate cancer patient with HDR brachytherapy. The entire process was planned, monitored and modulated using Oncentra Prostate treatment planning software.

Two oral presentations, summarizing findings related to Pi Medical's inverse planning algorithms will be delivered at the World Congress of Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering  2009 being held Sept. 7 -12 in Munich, Germany.

Results of HIPO evaluation were presented by two independent institutions at GEC/ESTRO/ISORT Europe Conference, held at Porto, Portugal, May 13-16, 2009. The abstracts are published in Radiotherapy & Oncology vol. 91 (1), 2009. Another study was presented in ABS Annual Meeting, held at Toronto, Ont., Canada May 31 - June 2, 2009.

Pi Medical and Medcom registered the trademark BiopSee ® in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.This trademark will be used for a new, advanced technology system for prostate cancer diagnosis.

The Addenbrooke's Charitable Trust (ACT) announced that Addenbrooke's Hospital was the first hospital to purchase and use Oncentra GYN. The first patient was treated last week.

A new version of HIPO, able to handle constraints related to the quality of the plan (e.g. COIN index), was presented at IMA Hot Topics Workshop “Mixed-Integer Nonlinear Optimization: Algorithmic Advances and Applications”, Nov. 17-21, 2008, Institute for Mathematics and its Applications, Minneapolis, MN, USA.

Nucletron launched Oncentra GYN , a product developed by Pi Medical and MedCom, in a special event during the World Congress of Brachytherapy.
