- Paper resulting from InnovateUK collaboration (Feasibility Study, ID:132883) with Medibord Ltd. (https://www.medibord.com/products/ct-and-linac-range), resulting in patent application (GB1902531.1. PCT/GB2020/050449). Materials used in new products sold globally including multi-modal patient positioning board improving radiotherapy treatment planning. In first 6 months, the first purchaser planned 100% of their radiotherapy treatments using it, improving the treatment of 220 cancer patients (contact:john@medibord.com). Led to collaboration with Klarity Medical (https://www.klaritymedical.com/baseplatesandoverlays) and Ohio State University in development of auxiliary support devices for planning prone radiotherapy of the breast in CT and MRI to minimise dose to the untreated breast (Eric.Cochran@osumc.edu). Sales of £38,891 recorded to date (john@medibord.com).
