Interesting. The reason we've not started with it was because we were
told a single TX would block a LINAC for 1 to 1,5 hours, which is ok if
you have 1/2 a dozen or more of them!
With our patient backlog of 2-3 months it just wasn't on.
Hmm... I think the radiographer union reps had a hand in the matter.
