Company Summary
Radiotherapy kills cancer cells but often causes serious and expensive illnesses.
We have built a unique in-body detector which reads the dose and spread of radiation at a tumour. Afterwards, our display shows the actual dose vs the plan so clinicians can correct, saving damage and costs.
We will loan readers to hospitals and sell two disposable detectors for every patient. Start in UK (248,000 pa) then sales via international distributors
