A huge step forward for our MR-linac program!
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

Pretty incredible to see this! – at Iowa City, IA
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

Happy to have this technology in Iowa! #NowNotFuture
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!

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.
