WALTHAM — Medical instrument maker PerkinElmer Inc. said yesterday that it agreed to jointly develop and sell a radiotherapy technology with device maker LinaTech.

Among the products is a cost-effective imaging solution that allows customers to upgrade their film-based radiotherapy systems, it said.

The first generation product, the LinaTech TiGRT Image Viewing System, will be showcased at the American Society of Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology annual meeting in San Diego next week.

PerkinElmer shares rose 19 cents to close at $23.45 yesterday.
