ELEKTA PROVIDES THREE-YEAR FUNDING FOR
ISRRT WEBSITE RENOVATION
Elekta will fund $30,000 USD, throughout the next three years, for the implementation of a
complete Website renovation for the International Society of Radiographers and Radiological
Technologists (ISRRT), a global organisation composed of 71 national radiographic societies from
68 countries. With Elekta’s funding, the visionary approach of ISRRT is to create an effective,
world-class Website (www.isrrt.org) that continues to connect and exchange information with
ISRRT’s membership, resulting in improving the member education and the enhanced
development of medical radiation technology.
“Elekta has a strong commitment to radiographers and radiological technologists, and we strive to
work closely through educational, professional and clinical means to ensure our relationship
with the global radiation therapy community is strong and productive,” says Peter J. Gaccione,
vice president of global marketing at Elekta. “The International Society of Radiographers and
Radiological Technologists also is purposefully dedicated to the improvement practice standards
in radiation medicine technology, which Elekta firmly supports.”
Elekta also is a platinum sponsor of the American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT)
Education and Research Foundation’s Health Care Industry Advisory Council and annually funds
four (4) $5,000 scholarships. Elekta will attend the Annual ISRRT 14th World Congress, hosted
by ASRT and the Association of Educators in the Radiological Sciences, Inc., which will bring
together an international community of more than 1,000 radiologic science professionals June
9-13 in Denver.
