[WGH Connect @WghLothian]

Another month, another Wellbeing Wednesday!
On March 4, there will be workshops and drop-in sessions offered by the Detect Cancer Early Team; blood pressure and health checks from our Health Technician; and free massages from a Therapist
Come along to one or all! See you there!

Tech team Ian Murdock, Scott Kelso, Jon Galbraith @Beatson_Charity used the MLC assembly from a decommissioned @VarianMedSys clinac as a practical training device for training, failure analysis, circuit board testing, and fault-finding. Very resourceful!!

Scottish radiotherapy+ meeting at Edinburgh #scotradphys @ScotRTPhys

[Scottish+RTPhysics @ScotRTPhys]

Kim MacDonald @NHS_Lothian @WghLothian addresses the question, can we stop using bladder filling protocols in patients undergoing pelvic radiotherapy? #scotradphys

[Scottish+RTPhysics @ScotRTPhys]

IMAGE-INE research associate Dr Thomas Berger @NHS_Lothian presents @EdinburghUni @NHSGGC @CUH_NHS collaborative work on investigating radiomic imaging biomakers to predict xerostomia in head&neck #radiotherapy
#scotradphys

[Scottish+RTPhysics @ScotRTPhys]

Brachytherapy theme now, talk by David Carnegie @NHSGrampian on using applicators and patient-specific 3D printed moulds for skin HDR treatments #scotradphys

[Scottish+RTPhysics @ScotRTPhys]

David Porter @NHSHighland presents the unexpected bonus of using AlignRT @VisionRTLtd for patient setup and monitoring ➡️ tattooless setup of breast patients (NHS 1st!). V well received by patients! Dave argues that the tattoo-based approach is from a pre-IGRT era. #scotradphys

[Scottish+RTPhysics @ScotRTPhys]

Caroline Ordóñez-Sanz presenting work from @NHSBartsHealth with @Mac_Nilo on reducing concomitant dose from CBCT by optimising imaging parameters based on patient build #scotradphys

[Scottish+RTPhysics @ScotRTPhys]

Edinburgh’s own Dr Paul McGrane @NHS_Lothian @WghLothian presents a plan comparison study using @Brainlab iPlan v Elements for our benign brain SRS treatments. Here we are the centre for all benign SRS treatments for the whole of Scotland! #scotradphys
