A huge step forward for our MR-linac program!

[Radiation Oncology @IowaRadOnc]

The first lung breath-hold treatment on our #Elekta Unity at the University of Iowa. We were able to reduce the treatment volume by 60% compared to a free-breathing treatment! #MRgRT

@MHLinPhD @KateMRGuidance @AGodleyPhD @KateMRGuidance You better take good care of my trophy!!

[Dan Hyer, PhD @LinacAttack]

I'll be in Dallas this weekend, sharing our experience with Comprehensive Motion Management on the #ElektaUnity at the University of Iowa. Excited to see everyone! #MRgRT

[Physics World Medical Physics @PWMedPhys]

#ad University of Iowa Health Care has added the Comprehensive Motion Management (CMM) upgrade to its Elekta Unity MR-Linac treatment system https://t.co/h8UD969gyh

Pretty incredible to see this!

[Radiation Oncology @IowaRadOnc]

When treating pancreas with ablative doses, precision matters. On the MR-Linac @IowaRadOnc we ensure the beam is only on when the tumor is in position. Using a breath hold technique, the patient can be a part of their treatment. More than confident #Certain

[Dan Hyer, PhD @LinacAttack]

Happy to have this technology in Iowa! #NowNotFuture

[Radiation Oncology @IowaRadOnc]

What happens if you cough during your prostate radiation treatment? @IowaRadOnc you are in good hands with our MR-linac. Real-time MRI visualization means the beam stops if your prostate moves out of position and starts when back in position. More than confidence. #Certain

Jeff Snyder successfully defended his PhD on improving the efficiency of MRgART today @IowaRadOnc and is off tomorrow to his new job as the regional chief @YaleMed. Congrats!

[Elekta @Elekta]

What do the people in this 📸 have in common? We’re glad you asked! @bwraaymakers, @LinacAttack, @alongi_filippo and Martijn Intven are not only reducing margins but patient side effects with precision and accuracy on Unity. Want to learn more? Stop by #ASTRO23 booth 2817.

@BinCaiMedPhys @Elekta Thanks! You guys are going to love it! You might even switch sides on the next debate! 😉

@chwsch @Elekta You’re going to love it!

Graduation weekend in Iowa! Teddy Geoghegan got his hood and he is now off to UCSF! @IowaRadOnc @UCSFCancer #medphys

[Dan Hyer, PhD @LinacAttack]

Delivered the first patient QA plan with the proton dynamic collimation system! @Capes1985 @laurabennett701 @OsnolaRavan @Epons04 @ThibaultBoland @nicknelson03 @wesculberson @TheoGeo92 @IBAToday @IowaRadOnc @MiamiCancerInst @wiscmedphys #medphys #DCS

[Dan Hyer, PhD @LinacAttack]

Still finding new uses for proton collimation!

[Radiation Oncology @IowaRadOnc]

Pushing the limits of proton therapy: combining pencil beam scanning, a rotational arc delivery, and energy-specific collimation https://t.co/s7RMGYfe3t

[Dan Hyer, PhD @LinacAttack]

@cd_fuller Just checked our P01 A1 submission after seeing this. 36 over here :(

[Dan Hyer, PhD @LinacAttack]

Live delivery!

[Dan Hyer, PhD @LinacAttack]

First automated & integrated delivery with the dynamic collimation system! ✅ Check out the #DCS in action below! @ThibaultBoland @OsnolaRavan @Capes1985 @nicknelson03 @Epons04 @IBAToday @IowaRadOnc @wiscmedphys @UW_RadoncDHO @miamicancerinst

@CGlideHurst @SynchroJoe @IowaRadOnc Should we wear them together for the full denim experience?? 😂

[Dan Hyer, PhD @LinacAttack]

Today was chambray shirt Friday. Look at these two Chambros on the go! #chambrayallday #elekta #medphys #radonc @SynchroJoe @IowaRadOnc
