MRI linac at U Virginia or Philadelphia and my Florida experience

cancer centers are still using the meridian device despite the bankruptcy filing. there have been issues with facilities continuing the maintenance contract with the former employee group.
the hope for patients is that image guided sbrt will continue to develop.
for instance my urologist at moffit said they are one of a few centers that combine the psma pet scan with the mri guided fusion biopsy.
perhaps technology may develop for image guided sbrt.
additionally the viewray mridian uses.35T mri while the elekta unity has a 1.5T mri.

Yes, some are and some aren’t. There was an article in a radiation oncology magazine about the possibility that some cancer centers that had been using it, might not be able to continue: https://www.oncologysystems.com/blog/the-collapse-of-viewray/
It’s worth asking when considering a facility where it’s still listed as being used.
