STOCKHOLM, April 5, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Hoag Memorial Hospital’s Radiation Oncology division based in Newport Beach and Irvine, California, USA, have placed a major order for the treatment planning system (TPS), RayStation.

Johan Löf, CEO of RaySearch, says: “I’m excited that such a large and comprehensive cancer center as Hoag Radiation Oncology has chosen RayStation as their sole TPS.
