Subject: closed? external beam radiation

Doc talking very fast here.  Not sure if he is saying closed, or close or something totally different.  Cannot think of what they usually say.  Patient has prostate cancer and doing seed implants.  Have not done one of these in a long time.  Thanks.

I have not had any radiation training.  Could someone please verify if this is right?


Patient with squamous cell carcinoma of the left oropharynx:


He received 44 gray in 22 treatment/fractions by the right and left lateral fills of the base of the tongue and then received a concurrent 50 gray in 24 treatment/fractions via AP field into the supraclavicular area followed by an additional 16 gray in 18 treatment/fractions via reduced right and left lateral off-cord fields and right and left posterior neck fields.


Is that "gray" word correct?

On this account slang words are typed as dictated.  For external fixator he dictates ex-fix.  Is 'ex-fix' correct or should it be x-fix?  It has been suggested that it might XFIX, a brand name, but I have not been able to find anything to confirm it.


Thanks!
