About ViewRay
ViewRay®, Inc. (Nasdaq: VRAY) designs, manufactures, and markets the MRIdian® radiation therapy system. MRIdian is built upon a proprietary high-definition MR imaging system designed from the ground up to address the unique challenges and clinical workflow for advanced radiation oncology.
Unlike MR systems used in diagnostic radiology, MRIdian's high-definition MR was purposely built to deliver high-precision radiation without unnecessary beam distortion, and consequently, help to mitigate skin toxicity and other safety concerns that may otherwise arise when high magnetic fields interact with radiation beams.
At ViewRay, our vision is clear. We’re dedicated to giving doctors new and better ways to treat cancer with radiation therapy.
We’re an entrepreneurial company with big ambitions, unlimited potential and a passion for improving the lives of patients with cancer. We’re always on the lookout for talented people who share our commitment and values.
