April 30, 2015 4:03 PM EDT

SUNNYVALE, Calif., April 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Accuray Incorporated (Nasdaq: ARAY) announced today that it has signed an agreement with MIM Software Inc. to further develop adaptive therapy software for the TomoTherapy® and CyberKnife® product portfolios. The new software solution will leverage both Accuray and MIM technology. This is Accuray's second collaboration with MIM; the previous partnership led to the development of the first iPad-based treatment plan review capability, PlanTouch™.

"Accuray is committed to bringing innovative products and services to the market that deliver value to our customers and clinical benefits to their patients," said Joshua H. Levine, president and chief executive officer of Accuray. "We are excited to collaborate with MIM to enhance the ability of our precise, innovative tumor treatments to deliver even better tailored radiation therapy and improved outcomes for some patients."

MIM Software Inc. is a respected vendor of software for the radiation oncology, radiology, and nuclear medicine markets. Since its inception in 2001, the company has made a commitment to advancing the healthcare field. MIM prides itself on its record of major innovations that have advanced the company's primary goal of enhancing patient care, including the development of automated adaptive therapy software. The software allows a sophisticated analysis based upon pre-treatment imaging that enables the clinician to determine whether changes in the patient's anatomy over the course of therapy could reduce the effectiveness of the treatment. In the case of significant changes, the treatment plan would be modified to account for the changes, and this would result in reduced dose to organs at risk and/or optimized dose delivered to the disease, which could, potentially, improve outcomes for patients.

About the CyberKnife® and TomoTherapy® SystemsThe Accuray CyberKnife M6™ Series and TomoTherapy H™ Series treatment solutions cover the entire spectrum of radiation therapy needs. The CyberKnife M6 Series enables precise, high-quality, high-dose distributions to be confidently delivered to the patient with extreme accuracy over a minimum number of treatments, reducing side effects and preserving patients' quality of life. The CyberKnife System is the only robotic full-body radiosurgery system available today. The TomoTherapy H Series efficiently enables physicians to customize treatment plans for the entire range of radiation therapy patients and disease types. Its innovative design enables treatment plans to be delivered with integrated, daily CT image guidance, enhancing accuracy and delivering highly precise, intensity-modulated radiation for optimal sparing of healthy tissue and critical structures.
