Exciting day for Radiotherapy & BHR RT Physics taking delivery of Varianโs Identity Surface Guided RT system. A great step forward for both patients and staff.



At the Varian International Oncology Summit in Vienna pre ESTRO, our BHR_Radiotherapy Head of Radiotherapy, Siobhan Graham Siobhan Graham is on a panel discussing "Transforming Oncology Care with Digital Solutions"



Speaking again in Vienna, now at #ESTRO23, Siobhan Graham Siobhan Graham our Head of Radiotherapy BHR_Radiotherapy talks about how radiographers, dosimetrists & physicists in our department are credentialed to do Ethos online adaptive treatments with no doctor present


Physicist Ahmed Ifthaker, formerly of our department but now at Bart's, Barts_Radiotherapy, at #ESTRO23 next to the poster he co-authored whilst he was with us - Validation of local tolerances for Halcyon pre-treatment plan verification using a Sun Nuclear PerFRACTION


The Radiotherapy Physics stall at BHRUT NHS ๐ฅ "NHS 75 Expo Past, Present and Future": some old dosimetrey equipment, pieces of linacs, patient immobilisation devices, and pictures & diagrams describing radiotherapy since 1896. The patient masks got the most attention! #nhs75



Look at the size of that panel! Very excited to have UK's first Varian HyperSight imaging system on our Ethos linac. CBCTs in 6 secs, improved reconstruction algorithms reducing artefacts, lower dose to patients. More details in images' ALT text. BHR_Radiotherapy BHR_Radiotherapy


Starting at 4pm UK time: not too late to register for a Varian webinar where department head Dom Withers Dom Withers talks about treating breasts on Halcyon, and Halcyon versatility. If you miss it - should be available on myvarian in two weeks' time. myvarian.com/s/mvwebsummaryโฆ


A very happy 6th birthday to the first Halcyon in the world to have kV-CBCT imaging. Still going strong as it marches into linac middle-age, and soon to be doing surface-guided treatments with Identify BHR_Radiotherapy BHRUT NHS ๐ฅ Varian @varianuk



Doctors, therapeutic radiographers and a radiotherapy physicist from BHRUT NHS ๐ฅ Team Radiation Oncology are enjoying the UK SABR meeting in Edinburgh. Picture is our poster on lowering conformity index target values for lung SABR BHR_Radiotherapy BHR RT Physics #UKSABR24
