Pre–treatment imaging consists of Siemens and Toshiba wide bore CT scanners with associated ProSoma virtual simulation software. Treatment plans are produced using Raystation and Monaco.

The department prides itself on delivering state-of the-art treatment techniques to our patient population and research and development is actively encouraged.  For example, the use of 3D printing technology is under active investigation and we hope to introduce it into clinical use by the end of the year.
