Meet the professional
My job, as a medical physicist, is to perform daily, monthly, quarterly and annually checks of the machines, to calibrate machines, perform dosimetry tests on Linac and calibration of the radioactive isotope, make radiotherapy patient plans and perform patient QA after planning. Importing, exporting patient DICOMs, registration of images in different modalities. The job is related to STEAM through physics, biology, chemistry, mechanics, electromagnetic radiation, AI, computer modeling and informatics. You need solid usage of mathematical modeling during treatment planning and preparation, also you have to use some AI tools to perform better results, for the patient safety and treatment efficacy good knowledge of radiobiology is predominant.
