...Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Ernest A Bates, M D said, "AMS' creative financing have helped make advanced oncology available and affordable to hospitals and their patients since 1991. Over the s we have built the industry's largest portfolio of radiosurgical and assets, including five Leksell Gamma Knife Perfexion , 14 Gamma Knife , and an IMRT system and related equipment now treating patients at hospitals throughout the United States."
...Perfexion systems, 14 Gamma Knife systems, and an IMRT system and related equipment now treating patients at hospitals throughout the United States. "While we are working to place additional Perfexion and related systems, our primary focus is on proton beam radiation therapy (PBRT), the next great growth opportunity in radiation oncology. We recently entered into discussions with a leading cancer center regarding the development of a multi-treatment-room PBRT facility in New York City. This center would be in addition to the three-treatment-room PBRT facility we are developing in the San Francisco Bay area with proton therapy equipment to be provided by Varian Medical Systems. AMS also has entered into contracts to place three Monarch 250 single-treatment-room PBRT devices. The Monarch 250 is an affordable, precise and compact proton therapy system for cancer treatment under development by Still River Systems, in which AMS owns an equity interest. We have many additional PBRT projects in various stages of development, and are confident that this technology will drive AMS' growth in the years ahead." Earnings Conference Call
