What C-RAD does
C-RAD AB is a Swedish public medical device company (NASDAQ Stockholm: CRAD B), headquartered in Uppsala, that develops Surface-Guided Radiation Therapy (SGRT) solutions for radiation oncology. Its product portfolio centers on the Catalyst+ family of systems (Catalyst+ HD, Catalyst+ LITE, Catalyst+ PT, Catalyst+ HD Ring Gantry) for real-time patient positioning and intra-fraction motion monitoring, complemented by the Sentinel 4DCT optical scanner for CT simulation, workflow automation modules (cAutoVerify facial-recognition verification, cAccessory RFID accessory capture), Visual Coaching Solutions for DIBH, and the Cyrpa-acquired line of motorized HIT lasers, SmartPhantom calibration devices, StaticPhantom, and CyrpaSoft software. The underlying technology combines high-speed 3D surface cameras with structured light and a proprietary deformable registration algorithm that accounts for elastic skin deformation to deliver sub-millimeter accuracy and automatic beam hold when patient motion exceeds tolerance.
The company sells directly to hospital radiation oncology departments, medical physicists, and radiation oncologists through an enterprise field sales motion, supported by dedicated service support groups in the USA, China, Germany, France, and Sweden, and a regional distributor (e.g., Bimedco in Colombia). Revenue is generated through three streams: hardware system sales (Catalyst+, Sentinel, Cyrpa lasers), recurring service contracts and training over the system lifetime, and software licensing for workflow and coaching modules. Integration partnerships with Varian, Elekta, Accuray, and Mevion position C-RAD as the multi-vendor SGRT interoperability layer, while the GC-RTRO training facility with University of Newcastle and the India Experience Centre extend the model into clinician education and emerging-market channels.
