Last week, the @mr_linac Consortium concluded an incredible three-day meeting full of great insights, discussions and interactions. A massive thank you to the presenters and attendees for creating such a strong and energetic global community. Until next time! #MRLinac #innovation

Astrid van Lier showing the strength of Unity for boosting gyn tumors AND the @mr_linac Consortium and @MOMENTUM_study for collaboration. And what a great study name! #mrlinacconsortium

[Bjorn Stemkens @StemkensB]

For everyone that would like to know how our Unity system works, here is a nice overview in plain English!

[Elekta @Elekta]

What is MRgRT with Elekta Unity? How long does a treatment last? What enables an MR-Linac to offer greater precision and what makes it different from other cancer radiation therapies? Answers to these questions and other FAQs are at your fingertips here 👉 https://t.co/fEFjvvIMhM

Automatic gating without the need for difficult-to-tolerate breath holds. At @UMCUtrecht upper-abdominal #cancer patients can now keep their normal breathing pattern during gated treatments on Elekta Unity. Hear benefits straight from the UMCU team ➡️ https://t.co/BiSphc9Ovw

It's a pleasure to be in the organising team of our 2nd workshop on #DeepLearning in #radiotherapy, held at the #umcutrecht on 28 and 29 November. Great program to learn the principles, implementation, and latest developments on. Info and registration @ https://t.co/KCk3B5R4MI

Great opportunity to develop new functionalities for META-scanner and go clinical!

[DennisKlomp @KlompDennis]

Yes! META-scan (MRI that can image metabolism (i.e.@NICI_FETopen)) aims to go clinic: 49M euro project funded and started this with UMCs Utrecht, Maastricht, Nijmegen, Amsterdam, Groningen and Leiden, Spinoza center, TU Eindhoven, Philips, and MRCode. https://t.co/6jjnw50cN2

[Bjorn Stemkens @StemkensB]

Great news!
