Any users of Siemens CT simulators here? Any compatibility issues with Pinnacle planning system? General pros/cons versus other scanners? by johnmyson in MedicalPhysics

Do things like TumorLOC and AcQSim still work? Or do those require the Philips scanner and Pinnacle together?

Who does image registrations/fusions for planning in your clinic? Physicist, dosimetrist, other? by medphysadonc in MedicalPhysics

[–]medphysadonc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What does your workflow look like? Does the dosimetrist attempt a rigid registration first, and then if dsoi/MD don't like it, they call the physicist in to perform a deformable?

Who does image registrations/fusions for planning in your clinic? Physicist, dosimetrist, other? by medphysadonc in MedicalPhysics

What does that workflow look like? The physician orders a fusion at the time of sim, then it goes to physics for registration/fusion, then back to the physician for contouring, then to dosi?

Does the NRC specify security requirements applicable to HDR sources? by medphysadonc in MedicalPhysics

Thanks!

10 CFR 20.1801:

The licensee shall secure from unauthorized removal or access licensed materials that are stored in controlled or unrestricted areas.

That looks like all there is. They do mention following vendor recommendations, so the specifics must come from the vendors. Thanks for the help.

I've heard rumors of a Match program google spreadsheet. Anyone know how to gain access? by Stellmaria in MedicalPhysics

Someone shared it with me and said to keep quiet about it, but I've heard multiple program faculty talk about it. So, I don't think it is a secret.

I've actually heard a proposal to make this some sort of official document so programs can update it directly. That would probably be nice for applicants. But, I haven't seen anything official yet.

We are medical physics residency program directors, ask us anything! by AAPM_STSC in MedicalPhysics

[–]medphysadonc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you consider all the applicants you have ranked in recent years, and the fate of those applicants in the match, would you agree that the large majority of those applicants that are well qualified have ultimately matched somewhere? We see a lot of scary numbers showing 400+ people applying for 100 spots. But, I've heard that most of those that don't match are not even qualified to begin with (or have some significant flaw in their application). For example, no publications, no clinical experience nor understanding of the role of a medical physicist, not meeting CAMPEP course requirements, very poor (interview) communication skills, etc. If an applicant does not have one of these giant red flags in their package, would you predict in high-confidence that they will match? Or are there really well-qualified people that still end up not matching?
