ScandiDos A.B. (SDOS.ST), a technology leader in advanced Radiation Therapy Quality Assurance, and IBA S.A. (IBAB.BR), the leader in particle accelerator technology and a leader in dosimetry quality assurance solutions, have formed a strategic alliance for radiation therapy dosimetry solutions.
The strategic alliance enables a collaboration between the two companies within the fields of product development, marketing, and distribution in selected markets.

By partnering with IBA, a leading industry player, ScandiDos will be able to reach more customers globally and help make radiation treatments even safer than they are today. This strategic collaboration will allow us to maintain our independence to continue to develop our business while benefiting from IBA’s strong operational capabilities”, says Gustaf Piehl, CEO ScandiDos.
“This is an important milestone in our ongoing strategy around industry consolidation. We are proud that ScandiDos has chosen us as their partner for their expansion. For many years, we have been impressed with the quality of ScandiDos’ product portfolio in patient quality assurance and believe that it complements our rapidly growing hardware and software offering well. The combination of the companies’ product offerings will provide a unique level of quality, simplicity, and versatility to the medical physicists, allowing them to deliver radiation treatments to their full potential, with increased safety to cancer patients everywhere,” says Jean-Marc Bothy, President IBA Dosimetry.
