CLEVELAND, 23 July 2015 – ViewRay, Inc. (OTCQB: VRAY) announced today its successful completion of a reverse merger with ViewRay Technologies, Inc.

Our recent transactions provide us up to approximately $76.7 million of financing and represent a significant milestone in our goal to make MRI-guided radiation therapy a standard of care for cancer patients around the world.”
