Elekta leads the highly competitive radiation therapy market in overall performance and cost rankings, according to Orem, Utah-based research firm KLAS.

KLAS surveyed 101 providers for the recently published report, “Radiation Therapy: The Fight Against Cancer is Heating Up.”

Elekta had the highest customer loyalty score, followed by market share leader Varian TrueBeam, Accuray CyberKnife and Accuray TomoTherapy.

Respondents were asked to compare cost, functionality and the downtime experienced using the different radiology therapy systems.

“Elekta earns the top spot (by a large margin) because of their continued technology improvement combined with a focus on partnering with providers,” read the report’s executive summary.

KLAS noted that Elekta’s provider-centric support for its Versa HD system aided its strong showing.

Newcomer RaySearch will be included in future surveys, according to KLAS.
