Delivering image guided radiation therapy effectively and safely involves coordination of systems such as the therapy machine and its imaging subsystems, as well as the electronic medical record (EMR) used to schedule and record patient treatments.
Clinicians at Nottingham University Hospital are piloting their new IGRT program with Synergistiq, Elekta’s workflow management system for Elekta Synergy linear accelerators.
Nottingham’s radiotherapy services manager Russell Hart reports that Synergistiq is streamlining IGRT by orchestrating Mosaiq EMR and Elekta Synergy activities from a single workstation.
