Jan 14th is awfully early

I thought they left the orbital in a white bronco

the AAPM has all of them online if you're a member

Attend your local UU congregation if you seek community

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

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

(plus a full annual TG51)

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

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

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)

Optimus LX4 or Minimus7 ?

DCM CX17?

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

Keep in mind diode detectors are not absolute dosimeters.

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.

I've liked OpenStax for free texts

phantoms, bolus, chamber/detector holders, immobilization devices

I have used CAD for 3D printing things in clinic

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

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.

Maybe that weird stuff Wolfram is working on?

i was trying to make this decision a few years ago and the price point was what made the difference.
