CLEVELAND, Aug. 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- ViewRay, Inc. (Nasdaq: VRAY) announced today that Dartmouth-Hitchcock Health in New Hampshire has begun patient treatments with the MRIdian® MRI-Guided Therapy System, a cutting-edge radiation therapy device that combines the latest innovations in precision radiation delivery and ground-breaking MR-guidance.
