Sunnyvale-Based Accuray to Acquire Morphormics

Sunnyvale, Calif. -- Accuray, a Sunnyvale-based developer of technology used in radiation oncology, said on Monday it will pay approximately $5.7 million to acquire Morphormics, a North Carolina-based developer of software designed to automatically recognize and extract anatomical structures from medical images. In 2008, Accuray began licensing Morphormics' autocontouring technology, which automatically identifies and draws the boundaries of the prostate and surrounding critical structures.  This enables the treatment planning software to focus the radiation dose on the prostate and minimize radiation to surrounding critical structures. Accuray said it now plans to extend these autocontouring capabilities to improve disease specific workflows.
