Understanding the Physics Behind Brachytherapy Source CalibrationsBrachytherapy places a radioactive source close to, or inside, the treatment volume, creating steep dose gradients over just a few millimetres. That geometry…Comparing IMRT Plan Complexity Across InstitutionsIntensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) has become a routine part of modern radiotherapy, yet the plans produced for similar clinical cases can look very…Trip planning checklist for delegates driving to BanffDriving to Banff for a professional meeting requires more than plotting a route from Calgary. Delegates must coordinate flights, hire-car collection, mountain…Effective Use Of Wireless Dosimeters In Real-Time In Vivo MonitoringReal-time in vivo monitoring gives medical physicists a practical way to observe radiation dose while a procedure is underway. Wireless dosimeters can support…Exploring Radiomics for Head-and-Neck Cancer PrognosisRadiomics is changing how clinicians think about medical images. Instead of treating a CT, MRI, or PET scan as a picture to be inspected and summarised, this…Electron Beam Workshops for Skin Cancer PracticeHands-on workshops for electron beam applications in skin cancer connect clinical judgment with the practical work of medical physics. Participants can examine…Building Safer Radiation Therapy Protocols TogetherNew radiation therapy protocols succeed when medical physicists and radiation therapists design, test, and refine them as a single clinical team. The physicist…Retrospective Audit Of Patient Setup Errors Using CBCT DataA retrospective audit of patient setup errors using CBCT data can reveal where an apparently reliable image-guided radiotherapy pathway is losing accuracy.…Workplace Well-Being Strategies for Busy Medical Physics TeamsMedical physics teams keep imaging, radiation therapy, nuclear medicine and safety systems running under intense operational pressure. Their work demands…Turning Conference Feedback Into A Stronger Medical Physics AbstractA conference abstract has a short life on the programme but a long afterlife in a researcher’s portfolio, departmental records and future publications. The…
