Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Rad Chat Live at UKIO 2026 #32: Paul Dixon - Rothband
Q: How has the shift from open procedures to imaging-guided interventions influenced protective equipment design?
The shift has expanded the scope of protection needs beyond traditional aprons to include better-fitting, lighter, and more adaptable equipment that supports a broader range of procedures and patient sizes.
Rad Chat Live at UKIO 2026 #32: Paul Dixon - Rothband
Q: At what point do you decide to design something new for X-ray departments versus waiting for clinical partners to raise an issue?
It's a chicken-and-egg scenario, but the process involves listening to clinicians' needs, evaluating evolving workflows, and then innovating protective gear to fit those real-world demands, including considerations for weight, fit, and versatility.
Rad Chat Live at UKIO 2026 #32: Paul Dixon - Rothband
Q: So how do you test and certify the lead protection core materials and ensure they meet regulatory standards?
We rely on pre-approved core materials and a network of test houses that certify the materials, with the final products following additional UK/European standards to ensure the shields meet safety and performance requirements.
Rad Chat Live at UKIO 2026 #30: Josh Garroway - Vertec
Q: How has the transition into industry been for you?
Josh notes that the transition has been challenging but also rewarding, with a love of traveling to different sites and learning on the road, and emphasizes keeping the approach practical rather than expanding machine fleets dramatically.
Rad Chat Live at UKIO 2026 #30: Josh Garroway - Vertec
Q: Why do you think adoption of adaptive radiotherapy is uneven across departments?
The discussion points to cost as a major barrier, with UK-specific dynamics where partners want to see others' progress first before committing, leading to a cautious but evolving landscape for adaptive technologies.
