The Chief Radiation Therapist at Ceylinco Healthcare Services Limited (CHSL), Thilak de Silva visited Switzerland for a training program recently. It was hosted by Varian Medical Systems International AG, one of the leaders in Radiation Oncology. He is the second member of the staff of CHSL’s Radiation Treatment Centre to undergo training in Switzerland in the past two months, a company spokesman said.
The five-day training course is linked to the acquisition of a new hi-precision Clinac iX linear accelerator for CHSL’s Radiation Treatment Centre from Varian Medical Systems.
The course titled ‘Oncology Information System Clinical Implementation’ covered a variety of topics ranging from an in-depth introduction to the system architecture to using the equipment in coordination with ARIA, a comprehensive information and image management solutions operating system that allows users to oversee all aspects of Oncology.
