TO OUR PHYSICIST AND PHYSICIAN COLLEAGUES
Medical physics is an exciting discipline that brings together the practice of medicine and various aspects of science most prominently physics. Clinical physicists have a special commitment and affinity for the patient population that depends on us for support in addressing their health concerns. We care for others with the same level of concern we have for our own families. The clinical physicist has a unique understanding of the power that science and technology brings to the practice of medicine. We respect this power and are positioned to ensure its proper use and implementation. We support and assist our physician colleagues in providing optimal care for their patients.
Radiation Oncology
Clinical medical physics in radiation oncology integrates virtually all aspects of medical physics. Diagnostic and functional imaging is used in radiation oncology to locate and target the cancer cells for delivery of therapeutic radiation doses. Computer modeling of the interaction of radiation and the human body allows us to customize treatment for each individual undergoing radiation treatment. The use of wired and wireless dose measuring devices allow monitoring of dose delivered. In special cases the use of a wireless, implantable dose measuring device can facilitate the tracking of dose to the tumor or critical structures.
