CARL ZEISS MEDITEC

Over the years, diagnostic and therapeutic interventions have developed into more patient-­‐focused, individualized, less invasive techniques. A perfect example of this paradigm shift is the INTRABEAMR system produced by Carl Zeiss. This revolution in radiotherapy comprises many advantages and affords a new dimension of flexibility. • Efficient local tumour control • Safety shown by clinical experience • Improved patient convenience • Over 10 years of clinical experience • Optimized system mobility

Effective internal radiation “Go where the tumor is” is the philosophy that impels INTRABEAMR. The sterile INTRABEAMR applicator can be positioned directly into the tumor bed, allocating the precise radiation dose e exactly wher it is needed most. Radiotherapy delivery with the INTRABEAMR system stands for highly effective radiation with low doses. This approach is possible because the INTRABEAMR -­‐ X ray source generates low energy X-­‐rays characterized by high relative biological effectiveness (RBE) allowing superior -­‐ tumor cell killing. The Intraoperative treatment with INTRABEAMR shortens the duration of treatment and requires less working time on the part of physicists, physicians, and technicians, resulting in superior ctiveness. cost effe

5-­‐year results for local control and overall survival of the TARGIT-­‐A randomized trial is 3.3% local recurrence in conservative breast.

MINISTRY OF HEALTH

Public health and disease control have been among Saudi Arabia’s top priorities since its founding. In 1925, the Public Health Department was founded in Makkah. In 1951 the Ministry of Health was established per Royal Decree Num. 8697\11\5 as a result of increasing need for healthcare services nationwide. Today the Ministry of Health provides the modern national healthcare services at its state-of-the-art hospitals and healthcare centers. http://www.moh.gov.sa/

KING ABDULLAH CITY FOR ATOMIC & RENEWABLE ENERGY (K.A. CARE)

K.A.CARE was established by Royal order A/35 of H.M. King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud on 17th April 2010 with the fundamental aim of building a sustainable future for Saudi Arabia by developing a substantial alternative energy capacity fully supported by world-class local industries. Saudi Arabia has a rapidly growing population that places an ever-increasing pressure on the country’s non- renewable hydrocarbon resources. Therefore, it was concluded that alternative, sustainable and reliable sources of energy for generating power and producing desalinated water should be introduced that will reduce consumption of the nation’s fossil fuel reserves. It was also determined that a balanced energy mix of alternative and conventional energy is strategically important to Saudi Arabia’s long-term prosperity, energy security, and its leading position in the global energy market.

Following extensive technical and economic analysis the decision has been taken to introduce atomic and renewable energy for a significant portion of Saudi Arabia’s future energy mix. The two sectors will provide substantial capacity, advanced technology, efficient use of resources and will be fully compliant with international best practices, conventions and treaties. Fulfillment of this decision enables the Kingdom to plan for increased demand for power and desalinated water whilst ensuring the rate of national development continues apace. The introduction of alternative resources now places Saudi Arabia to the fore in the development and utilization of atomic and renewable energy whilst providing numerous opportunities for national and international private sector companies to grow their businesses in the Kingdom, and Saudi nationals to enhance their knowledge and skills. http://www.kacare.gov.sa/en/ For KACARE Information Contact P.O.

This first totally computer controlled medical linear involved design work on the world’s accelerator; full field computer controlled Multileaf Collimator and a Stereotactic Radiotherapy System. first medical linear accelerator the world’s I lead the development of Elekta Synergy, with integrated volumetric imaging. This involved the novel development of CBCT using an amorphous silicon flat panel imager and the workflow software to make the information from the imaging system useful in the clinic. For the last 15 years I have been responsible for the management of research collaboration between Elekta and key hospitals worldwide. I founded the ‘International IMRT consortium’; the ‘Elekta Synergy Research Group’ and latterly the ‘Elekta MR Linac consortium’. These groups are staffed by world class clinicians and physicists from our collaborating cancer centres. The success of these groups has helped Elekta to achieve rapid advancements in technology its fastest the world’s to become in the clinic.
