Edinburgh Royal Infirmary is the first UK site to receive the Xstrahl 100 System. Dr Hamish Porter Deputy Head of Medical Physics reported;
“Our first impression of the 100kV superficial unit was how neat and small it was. We intend using this unit exclusively for a skin therapy service and want the general impression of the equipment to be as patient friendly as possible. The installation took only 2 days and went extremely well and commissioning began immediately after that, so far we have found it very straightforward to use.”
At the ESTRO meeting in Barcelona Gulmay Medical Ltd launched STEP an educational programme to raise awareness and support the use of superficial and Orthovoltage X-ray therapy worldwide.
STEP (superficial therapy educational programme) is an invaluable source of information for oncology and dermatology professionals and is an educational resource aimed at increasing awareness of this essential treatment modality.
The programme has been developed by the STEP clinical advisory panel, a team of UK Radiotherapy and Oncology experts.
STEP addresses the following key topic areas:
• Overview and history of X-rays
• Physics of low energy radiation
• Malignant and benign conditions suitable for treatment with low energy X-rays
• Standard UK treatment regimes • Treatment set up and treatment accessories
• Patient care during and after treatment
