Radiation oncology firm Accuray and GE Capital Healthcare Equipment Finance have inked a collaboration agreement to develop financing options that Accuray hopes will boost market access to its CyberKnife and TomoTherapy systems.
The collaboration will allow hospitals, clinics, and medical practitioners to lease Accuray equipment and services through an arrangement that combines construction, hardware, software, services, and ongoing maintenance costs into one finance agreement, the company said.
Two hospitals in France have already made use of the collaboration, with installations taking place earlier this year, according to Accuray. One of these facilities is the Hospices Civils de Lyon, which received financing to purchase a TomoTherapy system.
