Hey Bens1, Dr Nagar is great. I consulted with him 6 yrs ago when he was at Weil Cornell. He was one of the few RO’s using the Meridian system for SBRT , which I think you had, right?
He was very confident that he could treat my case, but I opted for surgery since the technology was still fairly new. I owned a few thousand shares of stock in the company, lost $$, but sold before they went bankrupt😂.
This MRI guided treatment is fantastic IMO and much better than Cyberknife because of less marginal tissue damage. It would be an excellent choice for @bluegill since NO fiducials are necessary and the remaining tumor tissue can be destroyed with no excess radiation to the already irradiated gland.

Hi Heavyphil
Small world. Dr Nagar went from using the Mridian, which is still available to hospitals who want to pay $1 million a year for service updates, to another MRI based radiation machine, Elekta, at Memorial Sloane Kettering.

I wonder how long it will take other hospitals to move to MRI based radiation machines from non-MRI based machines, ROI notwithstanding.
