Congratulations to the team at Nova Scotia Health Authority, led by Assistant Professor Lee MacDonald, who recently published a paper assessing the feasibility of CT simulation-free adaptive radiation therapy using the Ethos therapy system equipped with HyperSight imaging solution. In this paper, using an in-house workflow, CT simulation-free radiation therapy was shown to be feasible with acceptable workflow efficiency and dosimetric accuracy. They also concluded that with the availability of software to enable this workflow, and the continued advancement of on-treatment adaptation, single-visit radiation therapy may replace current practice for some clinical indications. https://bit.ly/3SZ1His Thank you for contributing this important research that may one day help to improve outcomes for our patients around the world.

For clinics hoping to improve patient care through the adoption of new technology, success depends on understanding the practice's unique needs. "Implementation planning for technology today must include discussions about a clinic’s scope of services, and what you are planning to do with this technology," says Per Halvorsen, Senior Director of Physics Clinical Operations at Varian. "It comes down to: How do we go about doing this in the best way for our patients?" https://bit.ly/46ss8CF

Yesterday we had the pleasure of hosting Government of Alberta Minister of Technology and Innovation Nate Glubish and his team at our Palo Alto headquarters. The day was full of passionate discussion about how #government and #business experts can support each other in the never-ending quest to improve patient outcomes. From bolstering the training pipeline of medical experts, to leveraging #ArtificialIntelligence to reduce patient wait times, we're confident the path to progress is through meaningful collaboration. Thank you, Minister Glubish and your team, for your thought partnership and commitment to improving the lives of your constituents.
