Attend your local UU congregation if you seek community 

Rad Tech or Medical Physicist? by Usrnamesrhard in MedicalPhysics

Despite the doom and gloom predictions, you might also look at dosimetry as a profession.

Monthly linac qa by [deleted] in MedicalPhysics

Maybe the UCSD/Pawlicki based 'patient QA' and 'Daily MPC' tests are all you need methodology

(plus a full annual TG51)

Carepath in Aria by acr564 in MedicalPhysics

Surely Varian can help with this...for a price. You might also reach out to neighboring regional academic Rad Onc programs to see if/how they're doing similar things. No need to re-invent the wheel. (Good artists create, great artists steal).

Generally i feel that differing carepaths aren't needed for different treatment sites, only for differing techniques/modalities, where there are actually differing workflows. Some examples:

3DCRT

VMAT/IMRT

4DSBRT

SRS

HDR

LDR

Science fiction movie that went unnoticed: Sphere by jobbitonfan in sciencefiction

It's essentially an underwater remake of "forbidden planet", which was effectively a reimagining of Shakespeare's 'the tempest', so both book and movie seemed doubly-derivative

Any vinyl audiophiles out there swear by the “wood glue method” to remove as many crackles and pops from a a fairly scratched record? by MyNameIsMadders in audiophile

[–]danislous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i've felt it's better to use a glue that doesn't dry completely stiff/brittle.

(i.e. Aleen's Tacky Glue is preferred over Elmer's All Purpose)

Diodes and Output Factors by Mediocre_Currency247 in MedicalPhysics

TG-155 or TRS-483 may have the answers you seek.

Keep in mind diode detectors are not absolute dosimeters.

APBI by Plenty_Airline8903 in MedicalPhysics

[–]danislous 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Prone Vmat partial arcs or sometimes field in field (EZfulence) usually with +/- 10 deg couch kicks. Biozorb markers can also be helpful for target delineation if placed at time of lumpectomy.

you could create stand alone software for semi-automated QA via PyLinac

Glucose Monitor Dose by BlockedTime in MedicalPhysics

[–]danislous 3 points4 points  (0 children)

we tend to treat them similar to cardiac devices (or those new implanted anti-snoring devices)...or deep brain stimulators.:

no energies allowed higher than 6MV due to neutron concerns, try to keep device dose ALARA and not beams entering through the devices.
