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

The Radiotherapy Physics stall at BHRUT NHS 🏥 "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/mvwebsummary…

Utterly trivial post, but I'm curious - users of NHS email: has your default font changed to Aptos? I've changed mine back to Calibri. Getting a lot of NHS emails with Aptos. Constantly embracing change in radiotherapy physics, but for some reason I find this change unsettling...

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 🏥 Varian @varianuk
