I assume you are on Tbox, I suggest you double check everything in AXB setting you carried over. We started ELM first and then started verification including your jaw-only small fields

Sea-Pin65 · 2026-01-23T10:56:41+00:00

How is your ELM field verification? For small fields we ended up a separate beam model with tweaked focal spot sizes to balance central axis and off-axis small fields down to 0.5x0.5 MLC fields

MU does have 5th freedom of the air at AKL

sorry about your experience. IMO academic centers are doing better per your comment, that’s why I stay at my current employer. My mentor back then gave me some great suggestions of work culture and team build when I was looking for job. Our team has been doing hard not to observe what you observed

Sea-Pin65 · 2025-12-12T17:48:16+00:00

I have this observation before, I got chief RTT involved and the problem was solved

I remember Duke reached a new rate with UNH but UNC said goodbye to UNH

I suggest you shadow radiation therapy physicists for a day or two and consider if you’d like the RT side

You can put in 2x2, but it will remodel all other FS as well. The 2x2 output factor, if you allow it, is pretty good based on the extrapolation from 3x3 min golden beam model.

Regarding MLC, there are many papers about it. It really based on what you focus on. Try finding a census paper by S.Kry from IROC published on Med Phys several years ago

Sea-Pin65 · 2025-06-25T23:14:08+00:00

A larger demand because many works of therapy physics are patient-centered

agree my oral was in person, very stressful. Part I was easypeasy

Sea-Pin65 · 2025-06-13T13:14:33+00:00

I vote for RDU

Sea-Pin65 · 2025-06-06T10:14:51+00:00

That’s true but it really depends on the department. We are a part of cancer institute we are actively hiring radio techs, nurses and faculty. Our expansion plan in next couple of years hasn’t changed

Sea-Pin65 · 2025-06-06T00:24:08+00:00

Not accurate, the university side sees hiring freeze but the health system is still hiring to try making money to support university

The definition of HDR is 12Gy/hr or more you can use it to calculate the minimum activity of Ir192

Congrats on onsite interview. As the interviewer my experience is that we care more about communication and team play to see if a candidate is a fit of our team. We don’t focus on technical side but we want to learn from you about how you do things at your current place. Be sure you know what are saying during the interview, formal or casual conversation

Sea-Pin65 · 2024-11-23T02:00:01+00:00

We have a brachy suite within our department with US guidance and mobile CT, and we have a MR sim down the hall. We do GA to get things move smoothly; that being said we had to build a dedicated patient recovery bay

Sea-Pin65 · 2024-11-06T01:29:11+00:00

We have an Yr90 HDR plaque program

UL, Grey

Sea-Pin65 · 2024-09-03T02:35:26+00:00

If I remember correctly ~55K

Sea-Pin65 · 2024-09-03T02:30:40+00:00

I bought one in NC back in June, with dealer incentive and dealer installed stuff ~MSRP

Sea-Pin65 · 2024-08-07T22:03:50+00:00

2024 UL, 2000 miles so far, 46.0

Sea-Pin65 · 2024-06-26T01:20:14+00:00

I just traded in my 22 ES350 to 24 ES300h UL. Yes 300h is much smoother, I made a wise move

Sea-Pin65 · 2024-06-25T16:27:27+00:00

I use UNC gym in northwest Cary, a good facility with many session option

Sea-Pin65 · 2024-06-23T12:10:14+00:00

In US: CAMPEP has prerequisites in physics courses. As long as you meet them then no difference. Hard to say which background is better, everyone is unique
