On October, 2017, MPSi worked on the commissioning of the first Varian Halcyon Linear Accelerator to become operational in the United Kingdom. This project was undertaken in cooperation with the radiotherapy physics staff of Barking, Havering & Redbridge University Hospitals. The commissioning measurements were completed in just over one week meeting the go-live deadline for patient treatment set by the
Creating one of the most modern and extensive radiation oncology facilities, the Cancer Centre at Guy’s & St. Thomas’ Hospital of London recently completed the installation of six new Varian TrueBeam linear accelerators in its new state-of-the art facility and two additional units in its satellite facility. MPSi worked with the hospital’s physics team to complete an on-time and on-budget
The Lake Huron Medical Cancer Center located in Port Huron, Michigan, recently upgraded its radiation therapy facility by replacing the linear accelerator. This new Varian TrueBeam linear accelerator offers the community some of the most state of the art treatment modalities currently available, MPS provided commissioning support to the hospital’s medical physicists and staff for this new linear accelerator. Through
“Spire Healthcare has recently expanded its scope of services to include the community of Chelmsford and the surrounding area. A new radiotherapy facility with state-of-the-art technology will soon be opening. MPSi worked closely with the physics team in the commissioning of two new Varian TrueBeam linear accelerators. The new Chelmsford Spire Specialist Care Centre will be using these linear accelerators
The first Varian TrueBeam linear accelerator in northern Spain entered clinical operation earlier this year at Clinica IMQ Zorrotzaurre in Bilbao. MPSi worked with the clinic’s physics team in the commissioning process. The project generated valuable data relating to the new DMI panel and its use in IMRT and Rapid Arc QA testing with FFF energies. IMQ’s chief physicist, Patricia
Sahlgrenska Hospital in Gothenburg, Sweden, has recently started treating patients in their radiation therapy department using two new Varian TrueBeam STX linear accelerators. These new linear accelerators were successfully commissioned by MPSi working together with the hospital’s medical physics team. This new equipment will substantially expand the hospital’s ability to effectively treat its patients as well as provide its staff
The new radiotherapy centre for Colchester General Hospital in Essex, UK, started operations in early June. This state-of-the art radiotherapy facility has four new Varian TrueBeam linear accelerators. MPSi provided commissioning support to the hospital’s medical physicists and staff for each of these new linear accelerators. Through this team effort, MPSi was able to ensure that the clinic could commence
MPSi is proud to announce that it recently commissioned the first Varian Edge linear accelerator at Champalimaud Foundation in Lisbon, Portugal! This is the first Edge linear accelerator to enter clinical operations worldwide. The results of the beam data commissioning support and the work performed by the physicists at Champalimaud Foundation were presented at the Varian’s ESTRO 2014 Users Meeting,
As part of the Scottish radiotherapy improvement program, the Aberdeen Royal Infirmary (NHS Grampian) in Aberdeen has recently brought two new Varian TrueBeam linear accelerators and is preparing to implement a third TrueBeam linear accelerator by early 2014. MPSi worked closely with the medical physics team to successfully commission these new linear accelerators. MPSi has also worked with the medical
The new TrueBeam linear accelerators have been installed and implemented at Rohnert Park Cancer Center and South Sacramento Cancer Center in California. The clinics are part of the US Cancer Management Corporation. The TrueBeam linear accelerator can be used for many forms of advanced radiotherapy treatments. MPS has worked closely with these clinics to assist with the implementation of this
