Don’t miss the fall issue of Wavelength, Elekta’s magazine focusing on news and advances in radiation therapy, information management and neuroscience from our customer partners worldwide. This issue discusses the use of SBRT for inoperable lung tumors; the first sites to implement our new digital control system; IGRT innovations that manage respiratory motion; the frontline role Monaco® with VMAT plays at a cancer center in China; the value of Gamma Knife® surgery for optical pathway tumors—and that’s not all.

On page two, don’t miss an article highlighting the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center’s (UPMC) stereotactic radiosurgery program where clinicians—including spine SRS pioneer Peter C. Gerszten, M.D., M.P.H., Associate Professor of Neurological Surgery and Radiation Oncology—have had remarkable success using Elekta Synergy® S to treat spine and paraspinal lesions. Speaking of top physicians, you may recognize the name of Robert Timmerman, M.D., Professor of Radiation Oncology and Neurosurgery at University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center (page six), a customer who uses Elekta solutions with confidence in Gamma Knife surgery and lung SBRT.

On page 12, it also is our privilege to welcome Macquarie University Hospital (MUH) to the global Gamma Knife community! The first and only center in Australia capable of providing dedicated intracranial radiosurgery, MUH recently treated their first patient, a 33-year-old male with multiple brain tumors, with Leksell Gamma Knife® Perfexion™.
