I actually spend less time in the simulator now, because the ultrasound helps with prostate definition, I don't have to perform the urethrogram and my patients don't have to have rectal enemas. There is also the potential clinical benefit, enabling a small community center such as ours to move into the 21st century and start performing hypofractionation."
A full synopsis of the symposium will be available on the Elekta website in the coming months.
