Two commercial AI auto-contouring solutions, Siemens DirectORGANS (DO) and Radformation AutoContour (RAD) are compared for their structure-specific accuracy and clinical efficiency.

Modern brachytherapy afterloaders have a capacity of up to 50 channels for complex high dose rate (HDR) treatments. For interstitial treatments, needles must be accurately matched to the correct channel on the afterloader, else the dwell times will be erroneo...

The interaction between static magnetic fields and charged particle beams necessitates isolating linacs from the magnetic fields from MRI systems and other sources. In the absence of known sources of strong magnetic fields, it has not typically been observed...

The increased attention on radiation risks and dose reduction in CT imaging presents opportunities for the presentation and discussion of institutional dose trends and factors contributing to change. The objective of this work is to analyze dose indices (CTDI...

This session is a joint session from the journal editorial leadership of Medical Physics and JACMP, touching on the evolving vision of both journals and exploring the growing interplay between artificial intelligence, physics principles, and the future of sci...

Artificial intelligence (AI) is moving rapidly into medical imaging workflows, yet questions remain about whether these tools can truly be considered dependable and trustworthy in clinical practice. This session will address three critical dimensions: technic...

Reirradiation is an increasingly encountered scenario in radiation oncology as cancer survival improves and patients live long enough to experience local recurrence or second primaries. While offering clinical benefit, these treatments are uniquely complex an...

Abstract: Our workforce is currently experiencing a substantial shortage of qualified medical physicists. Solutions to this shortage must include expansion of our education and training infrastructure and, ideally, improvements in this infrastructure as well....

Burnout remains a critical issue across medical fields, including medical physics. Characterized by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and a reduced sense of personal accomplishment, burnout impacts both personal well-being and patient safety. A 2019 JA...

In the current Oncology HHR crisis, existing training programs cannot keep up with demand for trained and certified medical physicists. The conventional residency pathway is not keeping up with market demand, resulting in unfilled positions and unsustainable...

Clinical medical physics teams face increasing complexity in managing routine tasks, special procedures, and development projects across multiple sites and team members. Ensuring equitable workload distribution and effective collaboration is essential for mai...
