Measuring the patient’s experience of horizontal rotation.
Nano-X is a new radiotherapy machine designed and built in Sydney, consisting of a patient rotation system together with a radiotherapy system. Nano-X proposes rotating the patient rather than rotating the enormous weight of the radiation therapy gantry. The NanoX is designed to be a low-cost radiotherapy system to allow for rural areas and developing countries to be able to access high quality cancer treatment.
This would substantially decrease the cost and size of conventional radiotherapy machines. In this trial, we will use the Nano-X patient rotation system only, without the radiotherapy system. We are collecting feedback from patient volunteers to determine whether rotation is an acceptable experience.
