OSL supplies and develops innovative technology in the field of radiation therapy and medical imaging. Based in Shrewsbury, England, the birthplace of Charles Darwin, we endeavour to provide the most fitting, state-of-the-art technology, to our medical colleagues for the best possible treatment of cancer.
Our flagship technology which we are proud to supply to the UK and Republic of Ireland, is TomoTherapy Hi-Art®, the world’s first helical TomoTherapy treatment machine, providing unprecedented precise, targeted, image guided intensity modulated radiotherapy.
