Abstract
Funding was approved to purchase an O-Arm Mobile CT Imaging System with associated maintenance. The bid for funding was supported to remain competitive for commercial clinical trials which are now focussing on delivering gene therapies at scale using current clinically available systems. The trials using
MRI guided gene therapy delivery to the brain are not commercially scalable due to high all-day costs
of MRI scanner time, expensive bespoke intra MRI surgical delivery systems (Clearpoint) and the time
taken per case. Studies going forward will utilise intraoperative CT systems which are commercially
available already, allowing surgeries to be performed much more quickly and in standard neurosurgical
operating theatres. Without this technology the HB will not be able to run these trials going forward
and will lose current international reputation and commercial trial income.
