Yesterday our previous Head of RTPhysics @lizcrees left BHRUT EP Team for pastures new - thanks Liz for everything you've done in our department and beyond. As a parting gift she gave us cake forks, adding further sophistication to a department already very keen on its cakes!


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


Also at #ESTRO23 today - poster-discussion presented by Head of RT Physics Dom Withers Dom Withers : "Use of RapidPlan knowledge-based planning models for planning of rectum cases with Ethos TPS"


Well-deserved recognition of our colleagues in Oncology BHRUT NHS 🏥 using technology for patient benefit

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…

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



Doctors, therapeutic radiographers and a radiotherapy physicist from BHRUT NHS 🏥 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
