Het bestralingsapparaat de MR-Linac kan een #tumor heel precies bestralen en gezond weefsel sparen. "De 1000ste patiënt is behandeld; een mijlpaal. En het begin van een nieuwe standaard in de #radiotherapie,” vertelt Radiotherapeut-oncoloog Martijn Intven: umcutrecht.nl/nieuws/duizend…
We missed all the visitors to our prototype and to our clinical MRLinac systems in @RT_UMCU @UMCU_Intl
Happy to invite you to the virtual tour now available through:
ecp-utrecht.org/gallery
A research paper describing the first clinical use of an MRI-Linac for MRI-guided radiotherapy has won the 2020 PMB citations prize physicsworld.com/a/first-rep…
Thanks for the recognition for the team work at our radiotherapy department @RT_UMCU of @UMCUtrecht
For those who are going to miss the superlatives on twitter and want to fact check: this is the greatest paper by the best group from the coolest department!
Announcing the latest winners of PMB's Rotblat medal awarded to the research paper from the last 5 years with the most citations: ow.ly/uQl050Cslno This year's medal goes to the group at @UMCUtrecht & @Elekta for their clinical proof of concept for the #MRILinac @UMCU_Intl
The world is our oyster! #elektaUnity came all the way from @UMCUtrecht to China:

Good and congratulations, no annual four day walk this year but gladiolen nevertheless!
True, but it runs even deeper, I have to bring up our #MRLinac #Unity prototype. A museum in itself and the root cause of the beautiful quiet hallway
“Still waters run deep”.
This quiet @UMCUtrecht corridor harbors radiotherapy dedicated
1x 3T MRI
2x 1.5T MRI
2x MR-linac
Under construction for 2021 are:
1x MR-linac
1x 7T MRI
1x PET-MRI
<insert Oprah sprinkling around Teslas>
Today at 14.30 Simon Woodings will defend his thesis. Unfortunately not in the scenic Academic Building of @UniUtrecht but the upside is that everyone can tune in:

ESTRO–HERO analysis of radiotherapy (RT) reimbursement in Europe: on average, expenses for RT represent only 7.8% of the cancer care budgets, with (too) large variations. Modern technologies often not covered, new reimbursement strategies needed #radonc thelancet.com/journals/lanon…

Congrats to @TownsvilleHHS! Today, they treated the first patient in Australia using Elekta Unity #MRLinac, a magnetic resonance RT system that enables personalized precision #radiotherapy through real-time visualization of the tumor during treatment. 🙌 ow.ly/SyFS30q0xMj
Nice coverage of introduction 5 fraction prostate treatment at #unity #MRLinac in #UMCUtrecht. First step to get from many fractions to real-time MRI guided adaptive radiotherapy! ad.nl/gezond/nieuwe-techniek…
Ice lollies for our radiotherapy department #UMCUtrecht to celebrate 500th #ElektaUnity #MRlinac treatment fraction. All fully daily re-planning, average fraction time just under 45 minutes.
10th anniversary of the #UMCUtrecht radiotherapy research BBQ, the bbq prep team, the crowd, the next generation researchers and the overview. Nice #MRlinac offspin, and still growing!
Today at 12.45 Jean-Paul Kleijnen will defend his thesis. The rectum treatments on #MRLinac have started in the meantime, but we are still going towards a boost strategy so still timely work!

It started with swabian dumplings a year ago... This week we celebrated the 1000th fraction at the MR-Linac in #Tuebingen @uktuebingen. @Elekta @dfg_public @cd_fuller @Shaista_Hafeez @ChrisRadOnc @KevinBrownRT @bwraaymakers @ldawsonmd @JJWLagendijk @whallradonc #radonc #MRLinac
Dank je wel voor het gestelde vertrouwen, time will tell, maar we zijn hard op weg een nieuwe standaard te zetten!
Vandaag in @medischcontact de inzendingen van de Wetenschaps en Innovatieprijs van @de_specialisten. Helaas de inzending MR-LINAC van NVKF en @NVRO_NL niet bij de top3, maar niet minder indrukwekkend en belangrijk voor oncologie patienten! @JJWLagendijk @bwraaymakers @UMCUtrecht

I’m always amazed by the disconnect between what we see in the news and the reality of the world around us. As my late friend Hans Rosling would say, we must fight the fear instinct that distorts our perspective: b-gat.es/2WvUqqp
