Are people being trained/retrained on the BrainLAB stereotactic radiation equipment?
Yes, as part of our plan, individuals will be receiving additional training in a range of areas. We have already provided additional training to a dosemitrist (the person that assists the physicist and radiation oncologist in planning a patient’s radiation treatment) in the radiation oncology department, who will be assisting with future BrainLAB treatment plans. We are also in the process of recruiting additional physicists who will receive specific BrainLAB training. We are writing more definitive policies and procedures around the BrainLAB operation, and we will ensure that equipment checks are continued and double-checks will be conducted by an outside, independent group.
