Commissioning of Halcyon enhanced leaf model in the Eclipse treatment planning system: Focus on simple slit fields and VMAT dose calculation

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose The dual‐layer multileaf collimator (MLC) in Halcyon adds complexities to the dose calculation process owing to the variability of dosimetric characteristics with leaf motion. Recently, an enhanced leaf model (ELM) was developed to refine the MLC model in the Eclipse treatment planning system. This study investigates the performance of

Monte Carlo modeling of radiation dose from radiation therapy with superficial x‐rays

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Superficial x‐rays (50–100 kVp) are used for treating non‐melanoma skin cancer and intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT). At these energies, the photoelectric effect significantly increases absorbed dose to bone compared to soft tissue.

Revisiting Connotations of Digital Humanists: Exploratory Interviews [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
This ongoing study revisits the connotations of "digital humanists" and explores the reasons why a researcher does or does not self-identify as a digital humanist. Building on semi-structured interview data collected from fourteen researchers and practitioners engaging in digital humanities (DH) projects, this poster illustrates researchers' various ...

DICOM attribute manipulation tool: Easily change frame of reference, series instance, and SOP instance UID

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose In radiation oncology, the integration and registration of multiple imaging modalities is a crucial aspect of the diagnosis and treatment planning process. These images are often inherently registered, a useful feature in most cases, but possibly a hindrance when registration modifications are required.

AAPM Task Group No. 249.B—Essentials and guidelines for clinical medical physics residency training program

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract The establishment of guidelines and curriculum standards for medical physics residency training is a critical component of setting expectations and competencies for the profession. Since the last publication of these standards, residency training has become integrated into the eligibility criteria for most medical physics certification bodies.

Towards better understanding of factors contributing to medical physicist well‐being in academic medical centers: A systems‐analysis approach

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract The well‐being of medical physicists can impact overall system performance, patient safety, and quality of patient care. There are limited formal assessments of factors contributing to physicists well‐being. Nine medical physicists at a US academic medical center were surveyed on 21 workplace factors, drawn from the National Academy of ...
